[QUOTE="MrBilly, post: 29029, member: 87"] You do not have to have foot rot if you develop for pad properly. I totally agree, in the old days we had knee deep mud around the hay rings in the wet of the winter, that is why I then went to unrolling hay which was fine, but very wasteful - in fact I can still see spots where the unrolled hay from part of last year was never eaten and is still covering the grass. Anyway, if you put geotextile fabric down and cover this with crusher run, you will have a very hard surface on which the cattle will stand - yep some manure will accumulate and that can be removed periodically or if the pad is large enough (or you have an alternative pad in the same paddock) the ring can be moved to another spot.
