Using Premium Timber Creek Livestock Bedding Saves Money, Time and Labor!
Timber Creek Recycling has generations of experience in the dairy and farming industries. We know that successful dairy operations must balance a number of considerations for livestock bedding, including:
Uniform support and comfort, Stay drier which helps to reduce pathogen growth and Facilitate good footing, to prevent injury.
Dairy Bedding
There are two essential factors behind good bedding choices: cow comfort and farmer peace of mind, knowing your livestock is comfortable and dry. So, bedding must be non-abrasive and promote a dry, porous footing area for the stock to bed. TCR’s regular livestock bedding is a ground or screened, walk-on wood product that promotes cost savings for bedding livestock at your ranch. Timber Creek Recycling’s livestock bedding meets all these requirements, and more! Our Regular Bedding has proven to be very comfortable to cows, ensuring superior animal health. After walking on the mulch, the fine material will raise up, creating a softer surface. Our mulch is more durable and lasts far longer, even after three rain events. And haul-in and haul-out expenses are significantly less, offering tremendous time, labor and money savings, bedding your animals and cleaning out the pens.
Premium Dairy Bedding
In addition to the advantages found with our Regular Livestock Bedding, Timber Creek Recycling’s Premium Livestock Bedding contains added bacteria-inhibiting agents which assist in reducing the ability of bacteria to grow where the lactating heard is bedding down. Timber Creek Premium bedding is an added layer of protection against
unwanted/untimely issues like mastitis.
