Tell me what you know from experience. I have 50 beef cows and no shed space, they graze beet and lie on grass but it can all get pretty muddy in a wet time.
I happen to know of a thousand ton heap of chipped Douglas fir about five miles away...so I’m thinking of making a 40x40 fenced enclosure with two foot of wood chip where I could confine these cows for 20 hours a day in an effort to lessen any poaching or necessity to lay on a wet bed in prolonged wet spells.
Anyone do /done anything similar?
