I just removed a zillion wheelbarrow loads of wet muck and nasty straw from their stall.
The floor is now hard-packed dirt. We have the calves' feed bins in there, so they come in and flood the place with their pee.
The hard floor isn't level; it's dipped in the middle, so there's a nasty pool of liquid that collects.
Do I want to install a french drain? (Wouldn't it just stay full of urine & stink like crazy?)
What do I put in the floor? Bedding? Sand? Whatever it is, will I need to remove it every day when it's wet?
