Subject: Re: bedded pack dairy barn


Have had a bedding park for 15 years and love it. We just build another one to put our 2 year olds in it. You need at least 100 sq ft / cow. We are milking around 140 in both barns. SCCis around 130 to 250 but we bed 2 times a day and use lots of straw a day You must have the equipment to clean it out 3-4 times a year. First barn was 70 ft pack wide but second barn went 50 ft with drive thought to spread straw with bale processor. You will have increased mastitis with pack but I think cow confort is more important and management of pack is also important
