whats the powder bed like interms of weight? i can imagine it being blown off quite easy? i do like the look of itWent from deep beds with enviro bed to mattresses with Platts powder bed bought in bags. Cell counts not changed much but mastitis rate dropped from 32/100 down to 18/100. Cows actually look dirtier but more comfy on the mattresses. With Envirobed used to bed up every 4 or 5 days with an AG dispenser on JCB . Now do it twice a day by hand with bagged powdered. I put the improvement to having fresh bedding after every milking. Cost has also halved but it was very high initially!
