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 cattle.
