[QUOTE="TheBullLady, post: 517361, member: 173"] Part of my barn is concrete (the part with overhead doors so I can drive the truck in) and the bigger part under the overhang is soil, covered with a few loads of sand. We have blackland here, so we need something on top to help drain the water off the surface or it will make mud holes. I like the sand.. it's easy to clean with the small dozer when the hay gets all yucky on top. When I have anything in the closed in part, I bed with shavings or straw. You don't necessary have to bed the entire floor, but have a pile available for the bull to bed in so he's not laying on concrete. As long as he can go outside also, he shouldn't have any problems on the concrete. [/QUOTE]
