[QUOTE="MJT, post: 7546288, member: 33400"] Slats would be a fair outlay initially but you would save a fortune on straw. However you wouldn’t actually generate that much muck, it goes more like a dark compost and doesn’t go very far when spread .For example we house and lamb 300 ewes on slats from January until March. Then lamb another 1100 on them for 4 weeks in March and April.....cleaned out every 5-6 years and wouldn’t have more than 30 8 ton trailers in whole shed. Having the slats in sections that you can remove and store if you want to use sheds for other things will be key to it. [/QUOTE]
