The manger before. The cement was too low for the cattle and they had to kneel to eat.
I'd never seen this kind of cement mixer before that hooked onto the back of the tractor. It's a lot smaller than a big cement truck and can therefore fit into smaller places than a big truck but doesn't require the manual labor than a small electric one does.
Gravel and cement powder...
...mixed with water (this trough was set up only for making cement because if it was left out, the cattle would break the hose and the hose would freeze)...
...and mixed at this speed...
...and poured over old, broken pieces of cement removed from the barn...
...will cover all of the above sand on both sides of the middle walkway...
...to make a smooth manger like this! A lot of work but worth it and way cheaper than hiring in professionals.
