Full Yard Rubber Mats at K&D Farms
When a farmer already trusts you with their entry/exit mats and rotary platform, that says something. When they come back to finish the job, that says everything. That is exactly what happened at K&D Farms on the Duntroon-Georgetown Road outside Oamaru.
The farmer had already put his faith in NumatAGRI rubber matting across the high-traffic zones of his shed — entry and exit, the platform — using our Kura mats where it counted most. He knew what the rubber did for his cows. He had seen the difference. So when we came back and offered him the chance to trial OxMat — our 25mm multi-use anti-slip mat — to complete the rest of the yard, he was in.
The result:
750m² of fully matted yard. No weak spots where cows bunch up or hesitate. The whole surface now working together.
OxMat’s octagonal-grip profile and studded base give cows the underfoot confidence to move freely, queue calmly, and stand without discomfort on hard concrete. A relaxed animal is a productive animal. That is not a slogan — it shows up in milk, in body condition, and in fewer lame cows to deal with at the end of a long day.
Getting a gap-free fit across a yard that size is not straightforward. That is where our in-house waterjet CNC cutting comes in. A high-pressure stream of water slices through the rubber with the kind of precision you cannot get from a blade or a box cutter. The interlocking edges come out clean, exact, and ready to fit. Every mat seats flush against the next. No gaps for effluent to pool. No edges lifting. No trip hazards. A surface that fits like it was poured, not pieced together. That is the standard we hold ourselves to on every job.
For K&D Farms, this was not a one-off purchase. It was the natural next step for a farmer who had already seen what good rubber matting does — and wanted more of it.
