Our original plan was to install maintain I don't have to run scrapers
scrapers But aftei 10 minutes in even day or haul manure like we did in
a slatted barn in Somerset County, ne our previous tie stall barn. The cows’
changed our minds Some people stay foot health has been a lot better, and the
anas from slats because of the initial cons stay much cleaner. Our milk
cost, but that extra cost is made up for in production is up and the somatic cell
the fust couple years. count has gone down I give at least
The one thing I like the most about some of the credit to the slats because
slats is that there is no expense I don’t with less moisture on the floor, there is
have any scrapers or drive units to less bacteria
