[QUOTE="BigBear56, post: 1639352, member: 38461"] I have an automatic waterer in one of my barns and it just has a dirt floor. I poured a pad around the waterer (4’x6’) so that they couldn’t back up and crap in it. I’m planning on pouring that barn and extending the concrete another 15’ past the doors for a loafing area. This area is just for feeder calves. So my questions are: 1) How much curb do I need around the waterer pad? 4”,6”, more? Right now it’s 4” to 10” depending on how muddy it gets in the barn. I have tons of fall and can really set the floor as low as I need to. 2) What type of tool can I use to make the concrete as rough as possible to avoid slips? I thought maybe a steel rake? [/QUOTE]
