An m\ previous barn, I scraped two
A times a day: and I was tired of it,
not to mention the danger to the c mi sif
a cable snapped I thought I would not
he able to justify the additional tost
until my buddei suggested a design
change which brought the cost down
relatively close to the original design
The biggest benefit to me is the labor
savings Two people can handle all the
chores for our herd I save manes not
only on labor but also on repairs

The cows’ hooves are healthier, and
they show heat better because they are
not afraid of slipping. During the five
years with slats, I have not lost a single
heifer from slipping The cow s stay much
cleaner, even with my misting system for
cooling them. The water has a place to
escape.”
