Mr. Padraic Finnegan:

It would be ideal, but if there is a wet spring and that kind of thing, cows cannot be sent out. In the past, it would have been possible to straw-bed slats. A lot of the slats are actually certified for tractors to drive on them, but one probably would not drive on them anyway. That is another thing. The rules are constantly tightening and it is certainly turning people away from it.
