Muck-o-matic?

[haute_ecole]

Alright now. I expect horse people to be somewhat sensible. I have always thought the automated kitty litter boxes were a bit far-fetched, I think cleaning up after your pets is part of the bargain.

But then I saw an ad for the muck-o-matic and now I know everyone is insane. This thing is a vibrating grating, sieve that helps clean stalls. It has a small quiet motor to make it vibrate ans swears to separate out solids and wet bedding. $1,300 for the regular and $1,900 for the commercial grade.

One can just imagine how the horses would react to such a contraption! That's a lot of money for a gadget to clean horse poop! Thanks for making me chuckle this morning.

I once saw in a cow barn a two inch high bar on the floor that moved across the cow area. It only went maybe a half mile an hour and the cows knew to step over it. They ran it like four times a day. It pushed all the manure into the trough at the end. I thought it was neat.

That is indeed unusual. I'm not so sure I'd be excited about having to lift it that high off the floor just incase it went everywhere. But I guess if you're short on help it might be cheaper than paying workers more money to get better help.
