| Dave, we installed something similar about 20 years ago. They were made from old tires and now some are breaking down and in need of replacement. I can't find anyone who makes our original sand traps. The ones in your pictures look like a better product, could you tell me who manufactures them? Have you had any problems with the cows working them up if not installed deep enough? Our experience is, there's a fine line between too deep and not deep enough. Not deep enough and they work them up, too deep and they will be ineffective. We have a 100 cow barn and a few were installed too deep, the sand usage in those stall is about 60 to 70% higher than those installed properly. I feel these are a must, especially if you don't have a sand recovery system. | |
