Peat bedding sheep

[irish dom]

So building wintering shed for my ewes and planning my bedding material. Straw is dear and takes work to bed and needs storage. Seen alot of cattle bedded on peat and seems to be very absorbent and comfortable for stock. Would eliminate routine bedding and cut down labour.
Ewes will be turned out to lamb on grass ( in a normal year) so not bothered about peat sticking to the new born lambs. Anybody ever used it and what was their thoughts
