seems like the cattle are uncomfortable and the poured bunk is not as deep-about $10 a foot to pour curb and attach wood-then $3 a foot for the guard rail as I hate cable-then we use the curb that sits out 6-8 inchs as a manurestop-similiar to a water curb-the curb or bunk floor is 8 inchs thick
Now with the curb built into the bunk you can haul manure or clean up with out hitting the bunk- if you have a accident the wood is very easy to replace and does not take long to pour-once you have done 100 ft every time you pour it gets easier to build them-do not have to call a contractor-but nice to have a couple extra hands to trowel and level-and of course drink beer!
