Is It True That Cowboy Shavings Only Uses The Highest Quality Soft Woods? Yes, Cowboy shavings uses only the highest qualityCanadian Spruce, Pine and Firtrees. Our Shavings are produced in Northern Alberta, surrounded by some of the most luscious forest in the area. Shavings are byproduct of the production of lumber. Dry, Clean, Rough cut lumber is passed through a planer after being Kiln Dried. These planer shavings are what make up the animal bedding. It is this style of shavings collection that sets Cowboy apart from brands that process whole trees.

Why Does Cowboy Shavings Only Use Softwood Trees From Canada?

• Canadian forest are sustainably harvested!
• Harvesting from natural forests ensure Organic material with no added chemicals or foreign objects

Canadian trees go through harsh winters giving them tighter growth rings. This results in a stronger more dense tree. We also only use soft white wood due to the texture and absorbability when shaved. We don’t ever use cedar in our shavings to avoid any negative reactions to various kind of livestock. We are horse people too and we know what it takes to provide the best in shavings for your horses.
What Is The Size Of “Flake” For Cowboy Shavings? Our shavings are considered a Medium to Large flake, so they are versatile for all animals from horses to chickens. We want our flakes to be consistent and easy for the consumer to manage and clean. Our shavings are very easy to pick thru, they don’t mush and create patties when wet so they can be picked with a fork when damp. They are light and fluffy so spreading them out is a breeze.
Is It True That They Are Highly Absorbent? Yes! A large percentage of our customers are in the equine world, and they love that these shavings absorb the urine vs just covering it up as it drains through or turning into mucky mess of wet and saw dust. The kiln dried flakes actually take on the moisture and then fall to the bottom as the animals move so they are not standing in a mess.

Don’t Forget, Cowboy Shavings Are VirtuallyDust Free! Our shavings are strictly processed from the internal parts of the trees so there is no bark or other material that limits absorption ore adds color. After the planing process of lumber the shavings are processed and screened to eliminate dust to ensure they meet our target specifications. This is why we consider them "dust free".

More $Having$ For Your Money! When our bags are filled, they are not just blown up with shavings dumped in and sealed. 3 cubic feet bags are filled and compressed with shavings. When opened they expand to approximately 8 cubic feet which is enough to cover a full horse stall in a horse trailer!
