Loose housing stocking density

[Sid]

What are others trying to do with the scrapings from feed passages?

Do you try to keep straw out and treat it lake slurry or blow a bit of straw over the passage to do that you have something stackable?

Scrape it and put it on top of last dung clean out in dung store.
After 5-6 weeks we take it out to field heaps and start again.
Clean out tomorrow first shed this winter

Hope you've got somewhere hard to tip it. Fek it's wet out there now.

Still 500 out here. If my sheds were finished I'd happily bed them on £150 straw. It's a miserable job in weather like this.
