I made the switch to straw bedding on my farm this Spring. There is indeed a learning curve to how to best bed the stall as well as clean it. But now that I'm converted I'm loving it. I have my manure hauled away, but occasionally I have to spread it. I like that it breaks down easier than shavings and doesn't permanently ruin the grass (the straw with urine in it does bleach the grass though).
Loving the newsletter. Best of luck to all the young horses!
