Sd		Concrete under fence line feed bunks and where tractor drives or commodity shed with poured floor? Ground hay and ddgs would be in commodity shed and fenceline would be 12 by 100

Northeast, NE

I say concrete under bunks and not where the tractor drives AND a commodity shed with a dirt floor. Can add a concrete floor as budget allows. Ground hay definitely doesn't need a concrete floor.

Northeast, NE		I assumed you meant cement under the bunk with an apron and where the tractor drives. I am saying-pour the apron and under the bunk but leave the driveway alone or rock it. I am picturing a fenceline bunk with cattle on the inside and tractor on the outside. Sorry if I misunderstood your question.

Casey IL. ( I -70 ) then south on rt.49		If your fairly young the concrete. Around here concrete doing it your self is as cheap as rock. Build a tin shed with no concrete for now.
Let us no what you decide.
Don't forget what mud is like to drive in.

Been a ton of years since poured any. What's a rule thumb for labor costs. Does it work out to the same as what the cement cost?

God's Country (N.C. Ia)		A good rule of thumb is to take the price of cement and double it to include labor.

East central Iowa		If budget doesn't allow concrete to drive on put down 2-3" base material rock, no 1" will hold up good if drainage is correct. I've got some cement 45 yrs. old and so 60. Still better than mud or gravel. For cattle I bet pay back on concrete vs rock is 5 to 10 years. Takes many ton of rock to keep mud down and concrete doesn't get hauled out in manure. JMO
