[QUOTE="Atimm693, post: 1775389, member: 26138"] We went from all concrete to steel and much prefer the steel. For one the steel bunks are longer and bigger, less work to move, rearrange, and dump. For drainage, the factory blows a hole in each end on the bottom, but I put a couple extra in the sides on both ends, inevitably the bottom hole will plug and the side holes will still allow it to drain. I broke several of the cement ones over the years. They didn't have much for rebar, just chicken wire. Our neighbor uses U-shaped cement bunks that are open on the ends, I'd prefer those over the cement ones we had. No trouble at all with drainage there. We have had a couple instances with calves getting stuck or falling over in them. I think that's a problem with feed bunks period and not limited one type. [/QUOTE]
