Rugged Concrete Feed Bunks – Built for Strength & Efficiency
At CattleCrete, we take immense pride in our innovative approach to serving the livestock industry. One particular feature that distinguishes us from our competitors is our renowned bunk design, which was originally crafted by the esteemed Dinklage Feedyards over two decades ago. This design has become the cornerstone of our success, emphasizing longevity, durability, and the overall well-being of the animals we serve.
Key Benefits of Our Slipform Concrete Bunks
Designed for strength, efficiency, and longevity, our feed bunks provide real advantages for your operation.
Prevents Feed Waste
✔ Our smooth, uniform design minimizes spillage, ensuring cattle can access feed efficiently while reducing unnecessary waste and saving you money.
Built to Last
✔ Our reinforced concrete withstands extreme weather, heavy livestock impact, and long-term wear without cracking or shifting. Engineered for decades of reliable use.
Innovative “Poop Step” Post
✔ “By putting the vertical post in the poop step, this increases the integrity and longevity of the bunk ” -Dinklage Feed Yards Maintenance Division
Optimized for Cattle Health
✔ With smooth edges and uniform structure, our bunks prioritize cattle safety by reducing the risk of injuries, stress, and feeding inefficiencies.
Why Rugged Concrete Feed Bunks Matter
A feedlot is as efficient as its feeding system. Poorly designed or deteriorating feed bunks lead to unnecessary feed loss and structural failures that drive up operational costs. Investing in high-quality, slipform concrete feed bunks ensures a cleaner, more durable, and cost-effective long-term solution for your cattle operation.
Common Problems with inferior Bunks
✔ Waste – Uneven or cracked bunks result in lost feed and higher costs. Making feeding difficult and reduced efficiencies.
✔ Cattle Health – Rough or damaged surfaces increasing contamination risks and reduce the ease of feeding.
✔ Structural Failure – Weak materials lead to cracks and constant maintenance.
Our Rugged Concrete Feed Bunk Process
Precision, expertise, and high-quality materials define our feed bunk construction process. Every step is carefully executed to ensure durability and long-term performance.
Step 1 – Site Preparation & Grading
✔ We start by preparing and leveling the installation site to ensure stability. Proper grading prevents shifting and maximizes bunk longevity.
Step 2 – Slipform Bunk Pouring
✔ Using our advanced slipform method, we continuously pour high-strength concrete, creating seamless, reinforced bunks with consistent dimensions and durability.
Step 3 – Surface Smoothing & Finishing
✔ After pouring, we apply specialized finishing techniques to smooth the interior, eliminating rough edges and cattle-friendly surface.
Step 4 – Final Inspection & Setup
✔ Before completion, we conduct a rigorous quality inspection to ensure proper alignment, structural integrity, and longevity. Our team ensures your new feed bunks are ready for years of reliable use.
