But after 10 minutes in a Slatted bam in Somerset County, we changed our minds. Some people stay away from slats because of the initial cost, but that extra cost is made up for in the first couple years. The one thing I like the most about slats Is that there is no expense. I don’t have any scrapers or drive units to maintain. I don’t hm to run scrapers every day or foul manpre like we did in our previous fie stall barn. The cows' foot health has been a ht better, and the cows stay much cleaner. Our milk production Is up mi the somatic cell count has gone down. I give at least some of the credit to the Slats because with less moisture on the floor, there Is less bacteria." “We would use slats aj»ain il doiii” it all over!'"' - David Wolfskill
