[QUOTE="ChrisB, post: 736353, member: 122"] If you have a bunker already I would just use that and expect a little waste. I've used bags before and they are nice but the cost is much higher than a bunker and won't pay at least for beef cows. The biggest problem I have from the bunker is I get about 8-10 inches of frozen stuff on the top and upper sides. But the cows will start gnawing on the frozen chunks on warm days. If you have a lot of waste in your daily feeding cut back the amount they get. They should clean everything up. I usually save the last couple loads to lure the cows into a catch pen in the spring and it is pretty rank stuff but after a few days they even have most of that cleaned up. I would keep using the bunker. [/QUOTE]
