There would be a fair amount of rainwater going in anyway so I suppose I'm thinking that the pump would pump out the liquid fraction and we can run in with the bucket to clear the last solids in the summer... but we'd need to be able to pump and/or agitate a few times long before we could get in and out with the dung..

(Didn't try calf pens or calving pens straw) Propellor agitator mixed it up perfectly. Worked out great, did away with the need for a dungsted.
