Building a corral, what would be the best surface material to use that provides good footing for cattle without muddy mess of dirt.
Yes but it will get a little mushy on the surface until the water runs off. Once packed the water doesn;t percolate through it very well. I use limestone road base, ti's cheaper then straight crushed limestone aorund here. I also use it in barns.Deerwood Farms":2b7vngny said:Thinking of using a geotextile fabric and topping with crushed limestone, will it pack well and drain when it rains?

It;s about 95% medium sized sandstone with about 5% stuff about the size of a pea.Deerwood Farms":2lfybtgv said:dun":2lfybtgv said:Yes but it will get a little mushy on the surface until the water runs off.

Does that road base pack pretty good or is it kind of like gravel?
