So we decided at this new barn we wanted a concrete base with drains in the stall areas for easy cleanup Inbetween kiddings. Today we poured the cement! It should be set up around July or so… 

  Nice dry flat base of lime treated clay and gravel, plus wire for good grippage   

Thank goodness for rented cement mixers

  And so it begins!  

Lots of spreading, raking, and cussing from Joshua and Daddy later…
 

Beautiful cement floors with goat kid safe drains. 30 bags of quikcrete total. It will probably take a week or so to completely cure in these cold temps. Which is fine, because next we start on the milking room itself!
