George , I was wondering if you or anybody else has ever tried using "cement stabilization"(aka soil cement) in muddy or high traffic cattle handling areas or if you think it would stand up to cattle?
For those of you who may not know what "cement stabilization" means, it is simply a process of mixing dry cement powder with the existing soil in an area, adding some water during mixing and then packing it in place.It sets up pretty hard, if it is done right, and is relatively cheap to do.
I have seen it done on various construction projects, usually with sand or gravel as the base, but always with either more gravel or asphalt put on top of it .
I was thinking about trying it in some gateways and around some waterers but I'm not sure how it would hold up with the cattle walking directly on top of it.
Any thoughts??
