[QUOTE="expensive hobby, post: 888895, member: 17104"] I have an old 1800's timber frame barn. Years ago when my father-in-law was running the farm he poured a concrete floor in it. The concrete is great for keeping your stock out of the mud but they do load it up with manure (and old hay) fairly quickly. I have not had any of my cows slip or fall on this floor. Like mentioned by someone else, the floor is broom finished and is not slippery at all. My only complaint is the second floor of the barn is too low. Since I can not get a tractor or skid loader in there, I need to periodically hand shovel it out. It kind of sucks to do, but there are always family and friends who want manure for their gardens. I just point them to where the manure is and they go in and clean some out. A good manure fork and a strong back and I can get it cleaned out fairly quickly. If building a new barn/shed make sure that your roof is high enough to get equipment in there. [/QUOTE]
