SureStep Livestock Surfaces
"Comfort and Safety Done Right"
Keeping your livestock comfortable, safe and healthy is critical to your overall production and livelihood.
Modern livestock facilities are housing cattle and other livestock for much if not all of their lives. Concrete is the prevalent flooring surface in dairy barns and shelters at this time.
SureStep Surfacing is the solution for all of your cattle, dairy and other livestock flooring needs! Adding an exceptionally strong and durable surface over the concrete that is extremely soft and non-slip.
Because of its natural cushioning, SureStep is easy on joints and hooves. Its slip resistant surface makes it the safest option for cattle use, as it reduces both lameness and down cows significantly compared with belting, even when wet! The lack of dust allows cattle to breathe cleaner air and stay cleaner, reducing respiratory problems, while the insulating factor of SureStep means that the floor and cattle stay cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter.
