When it comes to keeping your cattle comfortable, healthy, and safe, the type of bedding you use makes all the difference. At Avon Material Supplies (AMS), in partnership with Commercial Recycling, we supply a superior manufactured sand that is trusted by farms across Dorset, Somerset, and Hampshire. Here’s why our bedding sand stands out as the best option for your livestock.
Superior Quality You Can Trust
Not all bedding materials are created equal. While hay and woodchip can be common choices, they often harbour bacteria, create dust, and need frequent replacement. Our cattle bedding sand is:
- Washed and graded to ensure a consistent, soft texture.
- Safer underfoot, reducing the risk of slips for both cattle and handlers.
- Naturally hygienic, harbouring fewer bacteria than organic alternatives.
- Dust-reducing, helping maintain better respiratory health.
The result is a bedding material that prioritises both animal welfare and farm efficiency.
Designed for Practical Use
Our bedding sand is recommended to be laid around 4 – 6 inches thick. This allows farmers to scrape away the top layer once it has been soiled, without having to replace the entire bed. That means less waste, lower costs, and less time spent on maintenance.
Trusted by Leading Agricultural Suppliers
Our cattle bedding sand isn’t just our recommendation — it’s chosen by leading names in the farming industry:
- Forfarmers, one of the UK’s largest agricultural suppliers, recently sourced a large load for a farm in South Petherton, Somerset.
- RH & AJ Bateman, regular collectors from our Wimborne site, supply farms across Somerset and Avon.
This track record demonstrates the reliability and quality of our product.
