ABSTRACT:
A mat for a free stall, the mat having a series of body supports and a series of connectors or spacers. The body support members are in a spaced apart relationship that defines a series of compartments. The connectors or spacers interconnect the body supports. The mat may optionally include a series of connecting strands, that threadably pass through at least one body support and one connector. In one described embodiment the body supports are a series of elongated strips of recycled tire carcasses in an approximately parallel and spaced apart relationship to each other. Each body support is spaced apart from the next body support by connectors. The described embodiment has a connector positioned near each end of elongated body support and at least one additional connector positioned approximately midway between the two connectors located near the ends of body support. The mat may optionally include a built in "brisket board," in the form of a taller body support located along one edge of the mat, with the brisket board intended to be positioned in the free stall in an orientation that results in the cow's head being in the nearest proximity to brisket board.
