Just wondering what depth of concrete would be required for a silage slab outside a feedbarrier? Also for the floors of calving pens etc. that would be cleaned out with a tractor? 30 newton concrete I'm guessing....

125mm, do concrete right first time. the setting up and man hours cost the most, not the extra 25mm of concrete. mesh for trafficked areas
