Subject: Re: Manure storage


Kingston,Mi
I had the chance to design a similar containment (someone else agreed to the basic design then retired), the farmer had his milking cattle in a sand bedded loose housing and of course the manure is quite fluid. He also had young cattle and dry cows in a straw bedded barn. His solution was to build a dam with the straw bedded manure and scoup the more liquid manure over the wall behind the dam. Installed a 18 inch pipe and valve in the far end to access the liquid manure in a small pump chamber.

He had previously dammed up a portion of the barnyard with straw pack manure and stored the liquid inside the ring.
