Sandstormer Free Stall Bedding Groomer

Appleton Steel manufactures the Sandstormer Free Stall Bedding Groomer. As the sand is groomed, the long spikes help to break up any hard wet sand that might have built up over time. This eliminates the need to ever have to remove the sand. When used on a daily routine the sand will stay dry from the curb to the front of the stall helping to eliminate cases of mastitis.

Sand is pushed into the stall. This helps create a higher chest area for the cows, and to keep the sand where it belongs... in the stall, also it exposes any wet sand by the curb, this helps the groomer to do its job better to break up the wet sand and mix in the dry sand.

Footbath

Appleton Steel manufactures the Eco-Saver Cow Footbath. The foot bath saves over 65% of copper sulfate foot bath solution.

Appleton Steel is a Gold Sponsor of the Hoof Trimmers Association.
