Stall Information:
Stalls and farm store displays are 10'x10' on a concrete floor,
priced at
$135/$125 each. Electricity is included with every stall at
no additional charge. Stock Terra or corrugated cardboard
bedding will be provided for each animal stall. This type of
bedding is highly absorbent, corrugated bedding that has minimal
dust and does not adhere to fiber. We suggest plastic mats over
the bedding.
