[QUOTE="Andyt880, post: 7138110, member: 25474"] If you can afford to go for slats I would say you will never regret it. I have a basic slatted set up for 80-90 ewes in a fairly compact set up and I would need twice as much space if I was bedding them. I house the ewes around Christmas and lamb late March. I would use a fair bit of straw in that time and it’s not cheap here and needs more space for storage too. I’m on wire mesh slats here but any that need replaced in the future I’ll be buying plastic slats. The wire is grand but you need to keep it clean or it gets messy very quick. The diet and how you feed it is the biggest factor in how clean it will be. [/QUOTE]
