    I am not wanting to start any controversy, but its not like they have any option if they want to lay down :( They laid down because they are use to doing it. I don't see hard rubber, even with a little pad under it being more comfortable than a waterbed, but then, I am not a cow :P Being easier for the farmer is not necessarily better for the cows.

I am still shopping for mats and I love the new easiflex ones but they are twice as much as the 32mm Mayo mat so I am in two minds think I might go back to easiflex and try to beat a better price out of them, please give us a update in the next few days as I need to make a move and can't delay to long. , cows look very happy I must say!
