Barn Flooring

[Bawndoh]

I just priced out concrete for a two car garage and it had me thinking.  I will be building a barn in a couple years and I am pondering concrete as a type pf flooring.  I would like to put mats or something on top of the flooring, as I know the effects of concrete and feet and joints.  I feel comforted knowing that I could possible strip everything in the barn down to the concrete and then disinfect it annually.  Anybody else have a barn with full concrete?  Am I better off just putting down good crushed gravel with sand on top?  I am from Saskatchewan so perhaps things would be different for me here.  I have also pondered putting up a Cover-All building as a permanent (long time) barn as to eliminate the use of lighting 24 hours a day.
Thoughts??

We have all concrete with cedar fiber on top, works great for us.

We also have concrete floors, we have the extra thick commercial style mats that we put on top.  (Hubby kind of got them free at work)
