[QUOTE="1wlimo, post: 904616, member: 16646"] I would keep the cattle away from the shed in the summer they are better at their pasture, unless it gets very hot where you are and they need the shade. In the winter I would bed the shed with straw (from oats, barley, wheat, and cheaper than hay) every few days, leaving it to build up over the winter. This is then cleaned out in the spring to make compost and then used as fertilizer. If it does not freeze hard in your area then it will get very muddy out side the shed and this is the first place to put concrete. [/QUOTE]
