ShowBed Soft Livestock Bedding is the perfect bedding for Horse Stalls, Cool Rooms, Cages & Kennels, Fair Arenas & Show Barns, Petting Zoos, Bedding Areas, Sale Rings, Trucks & Trailers and makes unique colored bedding at all events where a little dressing up makes all the difference.

ShowBed Soft will reduce dust in your stalls and will assist with horses or livestock that have allergies to shavings or dusty straw. No need to spray water on your bedding to control the dust.

ShowBed Soft is made with Absorba-Fresh Technology, a patent pending technology that allows it to absorb from the bottom up. This is guaranteed to keep your animals dryer. You'll be impressed. Compare it to any other bedding on the market. ShowBed Soft will keep your animals dryer and more comfortable.

ShowBed Soft is very economical. Load a typical horse stall with 8-10 bags to start and replenish with 1-2 bags per week. Yes, only 1-2 bags per week! Besides a healthier product you may also save money. Works on mats, dirt, clay, stone, or any surface.

We even recommend ShowBed Soft be used by veterinarians and clinics where dust control and cleanliness is required. During our production process, ShowBed Soft is throughly cleaned and dried at high temperatures to kill bacteria, mold and fungus. Dust control during medical treatment is very important. ShowBed Soft used after treatment will assist recovery and will provide a long term health plan for your animal.

If you are looking for a great new idea to make your fair or show displays look and feel nicer, ShowBed Soft is the perfect solution. ShowBed Soft colors will enhance your animals for sales, competition or other recreational events. Available in colorfast green, burgundy and purple. The color will not bleed onto the animals.

Manufactured from recycled cardboard, ShowBed Soft is safe and environmentally friendly. Compost or spread on pastures. Use regular 3/4" stall fork for daily cleaning. Spray SciZyme daily after cleaning.

Available in 40 pound bags at a feed store near you...


TESTIMONIAL: CLICK HERE TO READ MORE >>>
Your product greatly enhanced the appearance of the show rings and the areas that were used for bedding. The reduction of odor in our Young MacDonald's Petting Barn was terrific. ShowBed did not cling to the wool of the sheep and they looked so much better for the entire eleven days. The presentation alone is terrific. It makes the animals look good and it is less dusty and cleaner.

The product makes removing waste quick and easy from show rings as well as when it is used for bedding. One has far less material to dispose of on a daily basis.

-Lorene Blackwood, of the Virgina State Fair

  • Arenas:
    We suggest using between 1-1½ lbs. per square foot in a livestock arena. This will provide you with a base approximately 2-3" in depth and will become much more stable once it has been sprayed with water. Even though ShowBed Soft is very low in dust, watering will virtually eliminate the dust and make for a very clean environment.

    Keep in mind that ShowBed Soft will absorb approximately 150% of its own weight in water. Because the pellets are already softened watering may not be required which would prolong the life of the bedding. If watering is required, using a normal water sprinkler is an easy and inexpensive way to water. Just turn it on and walk away.
  • Bedding Areas:
    Bedding of animals requires approximately 3 lbs. per square foot. This will give you about 6" of bedding. Replacement bedding for a 4 day fair should be about 25% of the initial bedding. Do not water stalls and bedding areas.

  • Cages:
    For smaller animals and fowl, we recommend the use of approximately 1" in the bottom of the cage. Having a tray or lip around the bottom of the cage will help hold ShowBed Soft inside the cage.

  • Low Lying Areas That Hold Water Or Mud:
    To eliminate muddy or wet areas, simply pour ShowBed Soft in the problem areas. It will absorb the excess moisture and provide a firm footing for people and animals to walk.

  • Cleaning:
    ShowBed Soft should be spot cleaned on a regular basis to remove manure and urine contaminated bedding. Regular narrow tined bedding forks work the best for cleaning. Loose manure from dairy cattle sometimes requires a shovel for more thorough cleaning.

  • Odor Control - Using SciZyme:
    ShowBed Soft is designed to control odors such as urine and ammonia. For more heavily used or soiled areas we strongly recommend the use of SciZyme. This enzyme spray will naturally help remove the odors from animal urine and manure while also providing a fresh smell that is very pleasing to both your exhibitors and spectators.
