    Let the goats and chickens eat it down and kill it. Then cover it with woodchips and use a large deep litter method. Just place new wood chips onto of the manure.

    What to do with CL

    Alright cool. I will find a sterile container. But shouldn't I vaccinate anyway? Is there negative aspect in vaccinating? Why does it matter that I have a false positive?.
