In the stall they behave nothing alike. One fluffs up, soaks the wet spot and lasts the week. The other packs flat by day three and leaves a damp mat under the animal. What separates one load of wood shavings bedding from the next is species, moisture content, particle size, and how well the fines were screened out before the truck ever left the yard. Most barns buy on availability. Somebody has product this...]]></description><link>https://www.oxfordwoodco.com/post/wood-shavings-bedding-guide</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a8712e7b42df082210347d7</guid><category><![CDATA[Animal Bedding]]></category><pubDate>Thu, 20 Aug 2026 14:54:12 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/0044b8_04a49e650b524d649977e5dc6097530d~mv2.jpeg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_853,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Tyler Van Wyk</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Livestock Bedding: The Complete Ontario Farmer's Guide]]></title><description><![CDATA[Most barns pick a bedding material once and never look at it again. The dairy operation outside Woodstock runs sawdust because it always has. The boarding stable near Ingersoll runs shavings because the last barn manager did. The broiler grower up the road from Tillsonburg tops up on the same schedule his father used. That is a lot of inherited habit for an input that touches animal comfort, labour hours, air quality and manure handling every single day. Livestock bedding is one of the few...]]></description><link>https://www.oxfordwoodco.com/post/livestock-bedding</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a870a739814bc9593cdcf92</guid><category><![CDATA[Animal Bedding]]></category><pubDate>Thu, 20 Aug 2026 14:43:41 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/0044b8_efbfed4964844df7ba31750ee569ff3b~mv2.jpeg/v1/fit/w_853,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Tyler Van Wyk</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[ISPM-15 Canada: A Complete Compliance Guide for Exporters]]></title><description><![CDATA[Your freight forwarder called and said the crate “needs the stamp.” Or your customer in Germany sent a one-line email asking for ISPM-15 certification. Either way, you are now responsible for a rule nobody ever explained to you, and the truck leaves Thursday. Here is the part that catches people out. The wood around your product is regulated cargo in its own right. A perfectly compliant machine inside a non-compliant crate still gets refused at the border.

Built, tested, signed off, and due somewhere else by a date that is already tight. The only thing between it and the truck is packaging, and nobody in the building owns that decision. Custom wood crates exist because off-the-shelf packaging is designed for an average product, and nothing you build is average. Freight damage, refused shipments at the border and the rework that follows almost always trace back to packaging that was chosen instead of designed....]]></description><link>https://www.oxfordwoodco.com/post/custom-wood-crates-complete-guide</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a8701b12e9aeeaa1eaf10d9</guid><category><![CDATA[Wood Solutions]]></category><pubDate>Thu, 20 Aug 2026 13:57:03 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/0044b8_0771c718236f4eb59560c44b19354bb9~mv2.jpeg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_960,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Tyler Van Wyk</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[New vs. Recycled Pallets: How to Choose]]></title><description><![CDATA[You have been quoted both. One line says new, the other says recycled, and nobody has told you which one your freight actually needs. So you guess, or you default to new because it feels safer. Here is what gets skipped in that conversation. Recycled pallets are not a scrap pile. They are recovered, sorted, repaired and graded before they go back out the door, which makes them a controlled product you can specify. And new is not automatically better. Choose wrong in one direction and product...]]></description><link>https://www.oxfordwoodco.com/post/recycled-pallets-vs-new</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a86f67a6cc94325119443f4</guid><category><![CDATA[Pallets]]></category><pubDate>Thu, 20 Aug 2026 13:26:06 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/0044b8_25714b821ba8406799cc59764cd525b7~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Tyler Van Wyk</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wood Pallets Ontario: The Complete Guide for Businesses]]></title><description><![CDATA[Somebody handed you the pallet file. Maybe the last person retired, maybe a rack bay failed, and now it is your problem. Either way, the simplest-looking thing in the building turns out to have five or six variables behind it, and ordering by habit (“send us a load of skids”) is how a pallet collapses in a rack, gets turned back at a border, or eats an afternoon of re-stacking. We build and recycle wood pallets that Ontario businesses load every day, from a yard in Norwich, and we have been...]]></description><link>https://www.oxfordwoodco.com/post/wood-pallets-ontario</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a860d676c395e7dcc396d09</guid><category><![CDATA[Pallets]]></category><pubDate>Thu, 20 Aug 2026 12:43:26 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/0044b8_a3d9b8dd2adb4d6caeadda5da6c2c8f7~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Tyler Van Wyk</dc:creator></item></channel></rss>
