Dairy farms have long relied on sand bedding for their cows, and for good reason. Sand bedding provides crucial comfort and traction for dairy cows, especially as they move in and out of stalls. According to Renee Schrift, Global Director of Sales for Agricultural Systems at McLanahan Corporation, "Sand allows the cows to get in and out of the stall and gives them traction and cushion."

The right bedding also plays a key role in keeping cows clean and dry, which is important for their health and productivity. "Sand bedding is the golden standard for cow comfort," said Schrift. "It offers excellent drainage, which helps keep the cow's udder dry and free from bacteria."
