I have an old barn that I use to hold any lame/sick/other sheep throughout the year. I then use it as a nursery pen at lambing. It's currently got a few inches of pretty dry muck in it. Can I get away with a thick layer of lime and deep straw or should I not be tight and shell out for a bobcat for the day....?

I ime and straw should be ok. Had my some lambs in side finishing on last year's lambing shed bedding, I just put lime and straw down, had no problems.

Unless you had health problems at lambing last year I would leave it and put some lime on. It will be more absorbent than if you mucked it out.
