calving pen drains

solorpower · 2014-02-24 14:20:53

Hi all just wondering if anyone has handy tips for drains from calving pens. I find that the caving pen can use a lot of straw. It has 3 walls and open on the 4th side. Does any one have drains under the straw. If so how do the work. Or do you just depend on the straw to soak up the water

Would saw dust be any good under the straw?
