While IronGrip was originally developed for beef, its superior durability and comfort make it an excellent  solution for today’s dairy facilities. 

Here’s why: 

• The average Holstein cow is now 30% heavier than in the 1990s due to genetic improvements,  better nutrition, enhanced management practices, the use of growth-promoting technologies, and  a focus on higher milk production. So, dairy barns are demanding more: more steps, longer  standing times, tighter turning in holding areas, and heavier traffic through milking parlours. 
• In these environments, farmers reported accelerated wear —especially in high-impact zones like  automated milking areas, high-throughput parlors, and feeding lanes. 

So yes — IronGrip is well-suited for demanding dairy barns that are pushing the limits with heavier cows  and higher traffic. It’s ideal for those key pressure zones where durability and comfort must work together.
