/jM/- original plan was to install maintain. I don’t have to run scrape
\^/scrapers. But after 10 minutes in every day or haul manure like w<
a slatted barn in Somerset County, we our previous tie stall br
changed our minds. Some people stay foot health has her
away from slats because of the initial cows stay
cost, but that extra cost is made up for in prodr
the first couple years.
The one thing I like the most
slats is that there is no exr
have any scraper
