Typically when you buy one of those tools that is a combination, they are mediocre at performing either job, but I am happy to say that I recently bought a Harper Barn broom that had a squeegee attached to the top of the broom. I figured I would give it a try.
On the dairy farm we use only squeegees but the manure is very liquid. My sheep however give me manure in convenient, dry pellets. Man was I surprised at how well the squeegee works. I am forever dealing with a sheep quarantined due to foot rot, and I'll be darned if that squeegee doesn't push the manure right out of the way. Then with a twist, I sweep up what remains and I have a super clean floor in a matter of minutes...no spraying with water to get everything cleaned up.
This last part is important because water only allows nasty bacteria to spread. Reducing water reduces contamination.
So while it seems silly, I highly recommend Harper brooms with the squeegee on them. Its just one of those little purchases that make farm life so much faster and easier!

Where did you buy it DB? I've got one that the squeegee is useless on it and the broom isn't much better.
