(( Tn mv previous barn, I scraped two
i tunes a day; and I was tired of it,
not to mention the danger to the cows if
a cable snapped. / thought / would not
he able to justify the additional cost
until my builder 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 money not
only on labor but also on repairs.

The cows’ hooves are healthier, and
they shovs 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 cows stay much
cleaner, even with my misting system for
cooling them. The water has a place to
escape ”
