Feeding cows on concrete floor. Shape pens to include mounds and valleys. Feed areas stay cleaner as cows are happy to lick food. Concrete put in the right place makes feeding cattle a pleasure during these months. Pad widths of 12 to 16 feet and concrete connecting the feed bunk pad to the waterers are recommended to maintain more desirable pen conditions.

Walking on the concrete floor comfortably with bare feet is a good way to determine if the floor will be acceptable for cows. A concrete floor in the working chute and crowding pen provides an all weather surface and aids in sanitation. Typically concrete pads are 8 to 12 feet wide. And since our products are pre built and modular they allow for faster onsite.

Grade it to the desired slope and remove any rocks in the subgrade. Ideally a 3 to 5 slope away from the feed bunks and mounds should be maintained. Also when the concrete bulges it usually cracks on the surface. This concrete bulging results in the floor having several convex areas that do not uniformly support cows hooves.

Start right good feedlots are built out of the subsoil that has less organic matter and is stable when wet or dry. Constructed in a controlled environment the bunker walls are higher quality and stronger than those of our competitors. Anti slip aggregates milking center cow decks areas in and around remotely located restraint facilities and cattle loading chutes are all locations where cows and people interact. Concrete that is too dry will bulge up in the inner space between each round stock member used to form the pattern.

Stronger extremely hard wearing and can withstand. Rough concrete resistant to harsh chemicals does not corrode like concrete and is up to four times. Concrete livestock troughs we started by looking at the available livestock troughs on the market and finding what we did not like about those troughs. A concrete floor can be readily cleaned after working cattle to aid in preventing spread of disease.

A rough finish on the concrete floor is required for good traction. We then started our own design process from the ground up and came up with what we think is the best concrete livestock trough that is available on the market today. It can be compacted into a stable base on which concrete will be poured.
