Abstract: The present invention is a floor mat connection device for connecting mat ends together. The device includes a male connector; a female connector and structure for interlocking the male and the female connector such that the mat ends are sandwiched between portions of the male and female connector. The interlocking structure including a male vertical portion connected to the male connector and a co-operating female vertical portion connected to the female connector, the vertical portions for operably interlocking the male and female connectors. The male vertical portion including a male plug in leg and the female vertical portion including a female receptor such that urging the male plug in leg into the female receptor locks the male connector to the female connector.

Abstract: The present invention a cattle flooring method & apparatus comprises interlocking mats including mat sections, inter connected with interlocking webs defined at mat edges; and mat connectors forming a mat connection such that a connection is made across a mat edges by placing one mat connector adjacent a top surface of said mats and a second mat connector placed adjacent a bottom surface of said mats such that said top and upper and lower mat connectors are adapted to interlock though mat holes in said mats thereby connecting together adjacent mat sections and clamping onto said mats. The cattle flooring apparatus further includes a slat anchor including a dome member for securing said mat together with said slat anchor to a slatted floor by urging said dome member of said slat anchor through a mat opening and into a slat opening.

Abstract: The present invention a bunker sealing system for use with a horizontal style bunker, the bunker sealing system includes a bunker silo for storing silage therein, a cover for selectively covering and sealing silage; wherein the cover being comprised of liquid fillable bladders. The bunker sealing system further including cover handling equipment including a spool for spooling and unspooling the cover onto and off of a cover spool such that the penetration of water and air into silage is minimized and further includes a cover carriage for supporting, the spool including wheels cooperatively rolling along top rails mounted on top of bunker walls, such that the carriage spans between two bunker walls and is rollably moveable longitudinally along the walls.
