Well, as most of you have read, I kinda have outgrown what I initially built for, any way, my feeders are growing fast and eating alot, and pooping alot. Well, I spent the last couple hours feeding up, rearranging bales, and just making the cattle set for the upcoming cold snap. I had a little day light left so I thought I would try and clean some manure out of the feeder pan,maybe knock it down a foot. No go, it's like concrete, the only stuff not froze was in thier little wind/rain shelter, but I am leaving that as it is heating and gives them a spot to lay that isnt froze. Seeing how it is only jan, any suggestions what I can do? Can I salt the heck out of the manure and hope it works, I'm thinking it wont, plus I have a feeling that the salt would be bad for hoofs. Maybe put salt down and then bed up real good?Hindsight sucks. Definatly will be building a decent feeder building so I have more room. Originally figured 4-6 year, now I have 14 and more than likely will shoot for that 2 dozen number next year. So , will I need to be raising up the pen walls or do I have a way out of this, OTHER that selling them.
