Feedyard Compacted Concrete

Feedyard compacted concrete is a type of Roller Compacted Concrete specifically designed for the livestock industry. FCC is custom designed to meet the specific needs of each application - maintaining the high-quality, long-lifespan, and low price offered by RCC.

RCC Feedlot Paving & Feed Pads – Built for Agricultural Demands

At Rock Solid RCC, we pave the foundation for more efficient and hygienic livestock operations throughout the Midwest. Our roller-compacted concrete (RCC) paving solutions are purpose-built for the heavy loads, abrasive conditions, and constant traffic of feedlots, dairies, and commodity storage areas. We deliver tough, cleanable surfaces that hold up year after year, no matter how hard your operation runs.

FCC ROIs

Simplify Pen Maintenance - reduce labor, easy scrapping, less rebuilding with sand/clay

Improve Cattle Health - no/less mud reduces vulnerability to disease

Optimize Feed Conversion - research has shown higher average daily gain and feed-to-gain ratios than clay pens

Increase Capacity - stocking density up to 2x

Increase profitability - reduce uncertainty of feed efficiency, cost-of-gain, loss of gain due to mud and dust

Manure Value

Reduced ash = less manure hauling

Increased nutrient value of manure

Preserve purity for anaerobic digester feedstock

Why RCC is the Superior Choice for Feedlots and Silage Pads

Feedlots and silage pads demand more than just pavement. They require infrastructure that performs under pressure. RCC offers exceptional strength, stability, and durability with a fast install process that minimizes disruption to daily operations. Unlike gravel or standard poured concrete, RCC resists rutting from heavy equipment, holds up under repeated livestock impact, and offers excellent traction and cleanability.

The zero-slump, low-water content mix is compacted using vibratory rollers, producing a dense surface that resists moisture infiltration, freeze-thaw damage, and wear from scraping or equipment. That means better animal footing, less mud, and improved hygiene, all while reducing long-term maintenance costs.

Areas We Pave Within Agricultural Operations

Rock Solid RCC designs and installs tailored solutions for every surface around your feedlot or storage yard. These include:

Aprons and alleys that withstand hoof impact and daily cleanup
Holding pens and high-traffic pens where traction and durability are essential
Loadout zones and equipment paths that handle the weight of trailers, loaders, and skid steers
Feed pads engineered for cleanliness, drainage, and compaction resistance
Manure containment and waste management zones with impermeable, easy-to-clean surfaces
Commodity building floors

Each surface is custom-engineered based on your site layout, slope, drainage needs, and operational flow.

Solving Common Feedyard Surface Challenges with RCC

Dirt and gravel surfaces break down quickly under livestock and machinery, especially during wet seasons. Cracked concrete creates safety hazards, increases maintenance costs, and compromises animal health. RCC eliminates these recurring problems by offering:

Long-lasting structural integrity under extreme conditions
Surfaces that resist standing water and mud accumulation
Easy cleanup with loaders or high-pressure equipment
Resistance to chemical runoff from manure or silage leachate
Reduced wear and maintenance over time

Operators who upgrade to RCC gain a cleaner, safer, and more efficient site and a surface built to last decades, not just seasons.

RCC Silage Pads: Built for Cleanliness and Performance

Silage storage presents its own set of challenges. Moisture, acidity, and compaction require a surface that won’t degrade or shift. Our RCC silage pads offer a smooth, impermeable surface that improves feed quality and storage efficiency.

With proper slope and drainage built into the design, our pads prevent standing water, support heavy front-end loaders, and reduce feed spoilage. You’ll get more usable silage per season, and spend less time repairing ruts or reshaping base layers.

Our Proven Process for Feedlot RCC Paving

We’ve developed a streamlined approach to installing RCC in active agricultural environments:

Initial Site Walkthrough: We evaluate traffic patterns, current surface conditions, and operational constraints.
Engineering & Design: Drainage, slope, thickness, and mix design are tailored to your specific site needs.
On-Site RCC Production: We mix fresh RCC on location using high-capacity pugmills to ensure quality control.
Placement & Compaction: Our team installs using modified asphalt pavers and heavy rollers for maximum density.
Curing & Inspection: Curing compound is applied, joints are cut, and the surface is ready for traffic within 48–72 hours.

We coordinate tightly with your team to avoid operational disruptions and deliver results on time and within budget.
