The dept will have proper specs or teagasc or private adviser will be able to point you in the right direction. I was thinking of doing one but the storage requirement for the slurry was just frightening so i put it off. As to cattle in sh:mad::mad:e, maybe the ones you saw werent managed properly ie correct stocking rate, feeding points, replacement of the chips, correct chips etc. Go to someone who is useing it for a while before you judge as they do have a place in the correct situation IMO
