Guys, Here in Texas most all folks fall into 1 of 2 schools!
1st School... Cattle panels nailed to the floor to give cattle some footing when floor is really wet or a lot of manure!
2nd School... Nothing at all, just a bare floor or a bare floor with wooden cleats or boards staggered to give the livestock some footing!
I prefer a bare floor with a couple of three boards nailed down diagonally for traction/footing. I HATE cattle panels when you are hauling Horses! Because all those panels are good for then! Is to Jerk shoes off your horses when unloading.
I had a Neighbor who put a different twist on his trailer floor, He heated up a bunch of Roofing tar, mopped on the tar, then threw on a good healthy layer of road paving gravel! protected the floor and steel from rot, and gave traction to most livestock, except horses with shoes!
Then when He thought he needed a little more gravel he brought out his flame torch .....the one you would use for burning spines off of prickly pear!just heat up the tar, throw on some gravel, push it into the tar by walking on it.
Anyway. My thoughts!
Later,
John A.

Today's Featured Article - Harvestin Corn in Southern Wisconsin: The Early Years - by Pat Browning. In this area of Wisconsin, most crops are raised to support livestock production or dairy herds in various forms. Corn products were harvested for grain, and for ensilage (we always just called it 'silage'). Silo Filling Time On dairy farms back in the 30's and into the first half of the 40's, making of corn silage was done with horses pulling a corn binder producing tied bundles of fresh, sweet-smelling corn plants, nice green leaves with ear; the ...
