I’ve watched your content off and on and always enjoyed it. It’s amazing to see the scale of your dairy operation. I never knew how much agriculture work (farming, fixing and fabricating) went into growing the feed to support a dairy farm. I wish I lived in the part of the country to buy your farms products. Pretty amazing and impressive work you, your family and crew do from a non farmer.

Hi Andy, there are many types of concrete. I guess it depends on the cement you use. Here in Europe CEM 1 (Portlandcement) is the highest quality, strongest and most expensive it's used for concrete beams and such. Then there is CEM 2 which has additions of slag (from a steel mill)i and /or flyass (waste product) mixed into it. Then there is CEM 3 which has even more of that stuff mixed into it. So that's less strong and cheaper but still perfect for floors and such
