We have used AgMat for rubber matting in our new covered feedpad and round yard. They have been good at purchasing and laying the rubber mats and Edward has a good knowledge on the right matting for the area to be covered.

I really believe in looking after my cows, by providing more comfort for the girls underfoot. After all they are our money earners. They do walk long distances to and from the milking shed.

The first bunch of cattle to go on the rubbered yard were heifers. I noticed as soon as they got off the concrete yard onto the newly rubbered yard they just calmed right down. What a great finished investment.

At first, I tried the product on part of the feed pad. It’s a flood wash on a reasonable slope. I wanted to observe the cows movements to be sure there was enough traction to stop the slipping issues.

At first I thought what a huge cost, is it ever going to pay for itself?, a few weeks later I have seen the benefits and noticed how much less lameness and injuries we are getting on the yard. Now I have no doubt.

Since installing the rubber matting, we haven't had any issues with cows slipping over and believe they are more confident in their movement around the yard. Laying the mats was done between milkings thanks to Edward and Mat’s excellent help.

I had big issues with the exit/entry races to my cow shed – they just couldn’t handle the daily traffic.  We looked into rubber matting and got quotes from a few companies, but what swayed me to AgMat was that they would actually help with installation. And that turned out to be a great call – having the AgMat boys there who knew what they were doing made a massive difference. We’ve had the mats down for 4 months now. The cows had a bit of a look on day one, then just walked right over them. They love them.
Cow flow in and out of the shed has improved dramatically – the cows know they’re walking onto soft ground, not a stoney, muddy race. As a result, we’ve seen fewer lame cows, faster milkings, and happier cows and staff.
