Subject: cement slope for cattle


South West Minnesota
We have a modified cargill hog building that i would like to take the front of and make it wider and put my cows in there when they are calfing in bad weather.The problem is the cement slopes. I think it will work my son say they wont be able to stand and will slip it will be bedded with corn stalks. The slope is 26 inches of fall over a 32 foot distance. the building is 160 by 56 with 16 foot level in the back and 8 foot in the front.Iwill have fence line feed bunks on the on side to drive along and feed them. The cows will get fed there while calfing and shut in when the weathers bad but will be out on pasture for most of their calfing. Will that be to much slope or not.Thanks Bush
