I would rather work with a dirt floor instead of trying gravel. You can always cement one bay at a time, starting with the livestock bays first. Dirt floor works well under hay storage areas and under tractor and implement storage areas too, so long as the floor is above the outside grade.

I western Iowa many dirt floors in older cattle barns were cemented back in the 1950's and 1960's. If gravel was a a workable option, most of those would have been graveled instead of spending the extra money for cement.
