All Sheep and Lamb Discussion / Manure Disposal

« Last post by Honey Tree on October 09, 2017, 10:38:00 pm »

Manure.  I've spread it with a shovel for years (no manure spreader, no tractor).  I really need to do deep cleaning and get down to real dirt.  There is no way my pasture can handle the quantity that I want to move.  Any thoughts about what to do with all of it?

I used Justin Luther's Reproductive Services.  Based on ewes getting marked again, we had 80% success.  All bred to Big Star.  That includes 2 of 3 ewe lambs that were 6 and 7 months age.

When I saw it, it was around $800. That was two or three years ago. We have used a homemade version and yes, they do work. Helps especially in breaking lambs that are heavy headed or pull back.
