Some people have asked if this rough surface will cause foot bruises. It does not often cause a problem, but to prevent any bruising, lay down 1-inch (2.5cm) of sand on the grooves before using the facility. Let it stay for a few days of use. The sand and the feet of cattle will smooth over any rough edges. Calm handling methods will prevent foot bruising. Calm cattle are less likely to become agitated and hurt their feet by running across grooved concrete.
