Oil Burner Serrlee A CONCRETE lot helps you ralso more beef with less feed and labor A concrete lot boosts beef production because the feed is eaten? not trampled in the mud. Less work is needed to keep the lot clean and more manure can be recovered. The cost of a concrete barnyard is surprisingly low.
