[QUOTE="ollie989898, post: 7149753, member: 54866"] Might be a good idea to have a gander at some existing units. I have worked on a place with the kind of housing (for beef) your describe but cannot for the life of remember the width of the scrape passage. I used to use a telehandler and bucket to push it out into a heap at one end. It was pretty solid and could be stacked but it was well contained in case any liquid formed from rainfall. One person could do it very easily by simply pushing animals back and locking them behind two gates as others have mentioned. Straw chopper over the animals backs as they fed meant the straw reached the lying area but some inevitably ended up in the front passage. Wider scrape passage would make it easier to get a machine into each pen for dunging out though. [/QUOTE]
