I'm sure many of the suggestions below would keep it from mudding up, but if you're keeping cattle in the corral, there will be manure, and unless you're getting the manure out by hand, whatever you put in the corral will end up on the fields when you spread the manure. We finally went to about a foot depth of "hog fuel" (so named because the waste wood burners in lumber mills used to be called "hogs", so the stuff you burned in them was "hog fuel"). It is shredded bark and wood, has much more body than sawdust or shavings. Moisture goes down through, and it will last about 2 winters before breaking down. By then its pretty much composted, and you can just spread it on the fields.
