Our original plan was to install scrapers.
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

have to run scrapers every day or haul
manure like we did in our previous tie stall
bam. The cows’ foot health has been a lot
better, and the cows stay much cleaner. Our
milk production is up and 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.
