Sand with Cow Attribute

Sand with a "cow" attribute is a specialized aggregate often tailored for agricultural or livestock applications, particularly in bedding for dairy cows. This sand is typically sourced from natural deposits and processed to ensure a consistent, clean texture that is gentle on animals.

The unique "cow" attribute means the sand is selected for its softness, cleanliness, and ability to drain moisture efficiently, reducing the risk of bacterial growth and hoof problems. While it is most commonly used in dairy barns and livestock bedding, this sand can also be suitable for equestrian arenas or other animal enclosures where comfort and hygiene are priorities. Its excellent drainage and low dust content make it a practical choice for maintaining healthy, dry environments, though it may not compact as firmly as other aggregates, making it less ideal for structural or load-bearing uses.
