[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1388170, member: 498"] I don't get much snow but I do have 36 degrees and rain for months on end. I have over 100 feet of straight feed bunk. There is a roof over all but 12 feet of it. The roof extends out 12 feet on the cows side and it is concrete out to about 24 feet. There is also a 20 by 24 two sided shelter along with a 17 by 20 and a 12 by 20 that are just roofs. I bed those areas once a week with sorry late cut canary grass that the cows won't eat. I just keep adding bedding once a week and make a bedding pack that I clean out in the spring after the cows go to grass. This is all built at the edge of a change in soil type. My side is very gravelly sandy loam. The tractor doesn't sink at all. The cows side is a silt loam that absolutely turns to deep mud this time of the year. Since I shipped the heifers a month ago there are only 3 cows out there. I shut the gate confining them to the sheltered area. [/QUOTE]
