    Hi i was wondering what would be the best make of mats for a new cubicle shed?
    Have looked at Easyfix, Durapack and alfco. They all seem much the same though easyfix seems to made from rubber with the other two been made from a mix of things.
    Out of the 3 which one last longer and is most comfortable for the cows to lie on?? And also would interlocking mats be better than single ones?
    I want a mat that will last not get holes and the cows wont eat and the cows will be happy with.
    All feedback appreciated ! Thanks .

    Have mayo mats. Middle of the price range. Cows find them fine. They will spread though so have to space them out.
