[QUOTE="StormurShepherd, post: 7548691, member: 49890"] Sorry to bang my Iceland drum, but there the ewes + lambs were moved from the main holding pens into the wooden slatted mothering/bonding pens with just a sprinkling of sanitising powder and sawdust on top. Only downside was some of the afterbirth wouldn't go down or would hang either side of a crossmember, so I'd have to poke it or cut it with the scraper/pokey tool. Also had similar issue with tiny lambs legs, but no issues with damage there. If I was to do more contract lambing I'd be picky and want to work on slats again. Best way I've done it so far. [/QUOTE]
