Concrete must be properly grooved or patterned to provide confident footing for cows. Ragged grooved edges and rough finished surfaces are abrasive to cows\u2019 hooves and must be avoided. Even a properly finished and grooved concrete surface causes excessive stress on cows\u2019 feet and legs due to its unforgiving nature. Alternative flooring surface options like rubber belting, rubber mats, and constructed in-place rubber floors are more resilient than concrete and seem to offer a degree of relief to the cows.\u201d Curt A.
