A drilling fluid shaker screen system includes a screen assembly that includes a screen including a plurality of screen sections. A first screen section includes a first screen mesh size and a second screen section includes a second screen mesh size different than the first screen mesh size. The drilling fluid shaker screen system further includes a rotation assembly mounted to the screen assembly. The rotation assembly includes one or more rollers moveable to rotate the screen assembly about an axis of rotation. The drilling fluid shaker screen system further includes a motor assembly coupled to the screen assembly and configured to vibrate the screen assembly. A housing includes a cuttings outlet that is fluidly coupled to a cuttings inlet formed in the screen and a liquid outlet separate from the cuttings outlet that is fluidly coupled to the plurality of screen sections.
