[QUOTE="Inky, post: 4433096, member: 1191"] I've used it on outside areas in the past where cattle have access to straw in a building as well. Chip size is important, the larger the chip the easier it will compact on the top 8" and water will run straight off. Going in with a grab and breaking it up a bit helps. Cattle do stay incredibly clean on it although i tried wood chip inside the buildings but found the cattle didn't settle on it. Another local farm uses wood chip inside all their buildings with sucklers. I'm lucky to have concrete pads where i am now and use woodchip on them and the feed passages to reduce straw use. Once it's mucked out i heap it and leave it for about 2 years to rot down before spreading it. [/QUOTE]
