According to the Pennsylvania Small Scale Livestock Committee, "Mud creates an unhealthy environment for both horses and livestock." Mud is a pervasive and expensive problem facing beef and dairy producers as well as horse farms. US 180NW Cow Carpet® is the solution.
Larry W. Turner, Extension Agricultural Engineer states that
"Mud robs . . . beef and dairy producers of performance
from their cattle herds in winter and spring conditions.
To help avoid the problems associated with mud . . . [an]
all-weather surface can be constructed of geotextile fabric
[cow carpet®], rock and fine surface cover for less than
1/3 of the cost of concrete."
US 180NW Cow Carpet® will keep your cover material from disappearing into the subgrade and prevent the mud below from intermixing with your cover material. In addition, US 180NW Cow Carpet® will improve the footing and hoof health of your horses and cows.
US 180NW Cow Carpet® meets the Natural Resources Conservation Service Class 1 Nonwoven Geotextile Fabric Specification.
