Now all I have to do is shovel them out at the burn pile. 8)

My new dump trailer will get side boards and a tarp then the shovel can stay in the shed

Someone around have a few laying hens? Might be able to sell them rather than burn them.

A number of years ago, I had a client that went into the shavings business.  He focused on the pet business and put it in baggies that were measured out by the pound.  He needed dry shavings, so he used a clothes dryer to dry the shavings.  He eventually went to a drum that had a gas salamander heater that was turned and dried the shavings.  It was a bit of a sideline and he used the aromatic woods like cedar, cherry, etc.

60 years ago we used to get shavings from a local mill to use for bedding for the laying hens .It was free .Those little feet can tromp that stuff tight as chip board .Took a pick axe to peel that stuff up off the concrete . :D----BTW it wasn't that funny as a 12 year old swinging  that tool ----

I hope they are sheared, or that wool will be a mess. But then not sure what wool prices are these days, barely. 10 cents back in 90s.

Ken:
You sold the slabs as organic firewood, so why aren't you advertising the planer shavings as organic bedding?
