| Thanks for putting real numbers out there. Another thing that I’m sure you probably see a lot is pushing the stocking density to make the barn cheaper per head, then the bedding cost/workload goes way up. Somewhere there’s a happy medium. I had two hog barns side by side, cleaned them same day. The one barns pigs were 28 days younger pigs but 20% more of them. In the next 3 weeks that barn had gone through double the bedding, and were still in worse shape. I didn’t figure a slat barn would cash flow easier than a bedded barn for cattle. | |
