BEDDING SYSTEMS

Whether it's concrete or sand, there are elements of the freestall that can be hard on the animal, and hard on your bottom line. The cow spends a large percentage of her time in the stall, so the condition of that lying surface is extremely important. It needs to be an environment that allows her to be comfortable, rest, and PRODUCE!

Knee & hock abrasion and injury.
Cows won't use freestalls enough to get the required down time for optimal production.
The cow lies too far up in the stall and manures in the stall instead of the alley.
Slippery footing means potential injury.
Build up of sand in lagoon and manure management systems.
Large volumes of sand wasted in freestalls that get dug out.
Sand stalls get dug out resulting in a hole that is stressful for the cow to use, as well as labor intensive.
