Cubicle Matresses

[Cyril]

I would welcome any advice on which mats/matresses to fit for my Friesian Autumn herd. I have concreted 295 cubicles, 128 will need individual mats as they have cubicle legs and the rest 167 have cantilever cubicles which can be done with a long roll/matress. I have 12 years left on my tenancy so don't want to go mad with the costs!
Thank you in advance, Cyril

Pleased with my Teemore mattresses, would certainly recommend them

I found mattresses from Intershape competitively priced and the cows like them. I was put I'd Pasture Mats by the very variable farmer reviews. Some seem to get on well with them but a significant number the complete opposite.

Wells longline by kraiburg would also be worth looking at.

Oddly went with mayo mats heard to much of bacteria getting inbetween layers and there somply arnt any with them and they keep shape may not be as good at day 1 but probably better even just 5 years later and they wer cheaper

Was speaking to someone today with Wilson mattresses, 6 years old and they need refurbing as the stuffing has gone hard.
Not looking forward to getting the fixings out!

Mayo mattresses seem quite good for a shortish wintered herd?

Any thoughts?

there is a lot in this area some of which are 20 years old with no problems and a lot of newer ones based on recommendations. Everyone really happy with them at the moment. Fingers crossed
