In 2015, Majestic View installed 460 DCC Waterbeds junior in their new heifer free stall barn.

"The cows are comfortable. When we get done milking, like the other day, I looked out in the barn. Out of 144 head, there were only 10 or 12 that were standing up eating or drinking. The rest were lying down."

"I don’t think there is just one favorite thing. They are easy to maintain and don’t pack down. There isn’t much stall maintenance and the comfort – you can go in there and see cows sound asleep."

"DCC Waterbeds are the best thing out there for people who don’t want to go with sand. That’s proven."

"One of the biggest problems with mats is that are great in the first year, but then years two and three, they start to get hard and need more bedding. Around six years, they’ll get holes in the cover and need more repair. Every year, it just gets worse and worse with mats." 

"The cows utilize the waterbeds perfectly and the beds and the cows stay clean. They don’t take a lot of bedding, and our hock abrasions are way down in the waterbed barn."

“We won the [2012] Farmers Weekly ‘UK Dairy Farmer of the Year’ and the judges were very impressed with the waterbeds."

"We’re saving money in bedding, swollen hocks, and less culled cows with the waterbeds in the barn."

“Our older cows need that extra comfort on their feet, body, and big udders. These cows are the money makers, so we are focused on keeping them comfortable. The DCC Waterbeds do that.”

"DCC Waterbeds are a low-input, high-output system."
