I would just like to say to all the viewers and subscribers that Animal welfare on Pemberton farm is priority. Tom you always think about your cows comfort and it is a pleasure to watch every video. Ask the Hoof GP what does he think about it # Tom Pemberton and the Hoop GP are the two best on RU-vid.

From Canada. Not only innovative but recycling. Our city is using astroturf on the islands separating road lanes, and it holds up to the hard freezes, snow and salt, deluges, and extreme temperature ranges we get. We used it successfully for covering mud around our pool. Hope it works as well for the cows.

Good thinking Tom! We have AstroTurf on all our cow tracks great for there feet as it’s soft and stones don’t get in there claws! Downside is it gets very slippy when it’s muddy and bad weather however the cows realise that and walk very slowly! But all in all you a good thing for the cows!

Just a thought but why not put a fence up from the gate where the cows where to the yard for a week or two too get them used to it then take the fence down after a few days and see if they use it more

@casham6239 4 года назад

You and the Ginger Warrior sure are lucky!!! Graeme Parker had a video describing this system!! It showed that time after time, the cows consistently chose to walk on the turf. What would we choose if we had to take the same bumpy, stoney, uneven path in bare feet? Happy cows--->Happy life!! 🐮🐂🐄🐃

@callmebigpoppac9205 4 года назад

A suggestion for rolling out artificial turf for the cows: If you know someone who can fabricate steel, have them make a bar the width of the rolled up turf with two holes either end for Cotter pins, and then have them find a length of Iron tube/ pipe like a drain pipe a bit shorter than the Iron draw bar. Then have them wield end caps onto it and drill holes in each cap to allow your round iron bar to slide thru, now what you have is a roller similar to a paint roller that can roll out your turf. Draw bar slides thru the roller bar, then thru the turf roll then attaches to tractor's 3 point link and now you can "Roll out the barrel", so to speak. May be hard envisioning this contraption but if or had I been a neighbor I could build it for you. I worked in steel and iron for a while.

@gabemondo9157 4 года назад

Put a drum through the Astro turf rolls then connect a tractor to the ends of the barrel with chains. Drive slowly away and it might unroll easily for you!! Once it starts to unroll place a different tractor on the other end to hold it in place.

@southjerseysound7340 4 года назад

I can't watch the video till later, but hopefully he'll see this........We laid the stuff that we got upside down. The cows were spooked by the grass side and it was a pain to clean. But there was a section that was upside down and they were all over it so we flipped it and used the rubberized backing and they loved it. It's also a lot easier to clean with a driveway brush attachelment on our skid steer.

@southjerseysound7340 4 года назад

We got Astro turf in a similar deal and the cows didn't like the turf part. So we ended up using the rubberized backside over the cement and they love it. it's also helped with hoof health immensely. Our turf is a little different than what they got. It's got a thicker rubber backing and we put it over concrete.
