Enhancing Dry Lot Conditions with Lime Dust for Horses and Livestock

John Marr Bobcat specializes in the professional application of dry lot lime dust, ensuring optimal conditions for your agricultural, livestock, or industrial spaces. Our expert service helps in dust suppression, pH adjustment, and pathogen control, tailored to your specific needs.

Benefits of Lime Dust:

1. Dust Control: Lime dust effectively reduces airborne dust particles in dry lots, promoting better respiratory health for horses and livestock.

2. Soil Stabilization: By binding with soil particles, lime dust helps prevent erosion and compaction, resulting in a more stable surface for animals to walk and rest on.

3. pH Adjustment: Lime dust can help balance soil pH levels, creating optimal conditions for forage growth and nutrient absorption, ultimately enhancing the overall health of your pasture.

Our Process:

1. Consultation and Assessment:

• Site Visit: Our team conducts an on-site evaluation to assess the area, soil type, and current conditions.

• Soil Testing: We perform or analyze existing soil tests to determine the precise amount of lime dust required.

2. Preparation:

• Clearance: We clear the area of any obstacles or debris to ensure a uniform application.

• Safety Protocols: Our crew is equipped with the necessary protective gear, and we ensure all safety measures are in place.

3. Application:

• Measurement: We calculate the exact amount of lime dust needed based on our assessments.

• Spreading:

  • Manual Method: For smaller or less accessible areas, we use hand-cranked spreaders for precise application.

  • Mechanical Method: For larger areas, we deploy mechanical spreaders or tractor-mounted equipment to achieve even coverage.

  • Safety and Environmental Commitment: Our team adheres to strict safety guidelines to protect both themselves and your property. We use environmentally friendly products and methods to minimize ecological impact.

4. Integration:

• Mixing (if required): In cases where deeper soil pH adjustment is needed, we can till or mix the lime into the topsoil.

5. Post-Application:

• Watering: We may apply light watering to activate the lime and control immediate dust post-application.

• Settling Period: We monitor the area to ensure the lime dust integrates well with the environment.
