Shortage of wood by-products for livestock bedding is becoming more and more 
of a problem, even here where most of Maines farmland has gone back to 
trees.

I have been doing some research as to the use of peat for bedding and come 
up with  some stuff from Europe and Canada, but zero from the U.S.

I would like to hear of any experience or information you might have as to 
th uses of peat.
