Cleaning pens

We try to rotate our deer so fawns aren't in the same pens year after year.  Also, we limed the pens last spring.  That should kill any bacteria etc.

I burn them off. Then lime .. discing it under once a year also

Started with  a new pen last  spring that was always mowed every year before adding  deer. They kept the grass nice and short but the poop was not a nice sight  so I came up with a idea to clean the pen. The deer were used to my mowing tractor outside the pen so I went in with a lawn sweeper attached and it picked up good  and it didn't spook the deer. When the sweeper got 3/4 full I took it ouside and dumped it in a small dump trailer. I would have to do it  every week. Usually 2 or 3 loads would clean for the week. I would spray with permenathin to kill any fly eggs and then dump on a compost pile..I would then follow up with lime. Takes about a hour per pen.

NICE...i was going to borrow a lawn sweeper to try it. Now i'll just buy one

My problem is different. Birds haha **** on my window, sometimes I don't know how to clean it all. We have domestic birds, they fly in the garden, but they have a bad habit of shitting on the window. Oh, those pets.
