[QUOTE="novaman, post: 763883, member: 2744"] I had the same problem with my dairy cows. They are fed in turned tires and since they are in the lot year round they pounded the he77 out of the ground. I put down a gravel pad about a foot thick. At first the cows rutted it up a bit when it got wet but with them on it constantly they eventually got it packed down hard. Now it is solid as can be and like I said it gets pounded pretty hard all day, every day. I am no help with rock size as I have a gravel pit of my own on my place and I just pulled whatever was in there. No specific size rock and there was fines. [/QUOTE]
