The dirt floor of the pens was mainly covered with bracken, straw or dried grass. This was known as ''azpiak egin ''in Beasain (G), ''azpigarria bota ''in Ajuria and Ajangiz (B), ''changing ''or ''making the bed ''in Urkabustaiz (A). It meant the floor was kept dry for the livestock and it also made it easier to pile up and collect the manure and for the faeces and urine to ferment. This bed is known as ''kamaiña'' in Larraun (N).
== Modern stables. changes Changes occurred ==
Larger and better facilities, which remote from the houses, only began to be built in the last decades of the 20<sup>th</sup> 20th century, either because they were needed for intensive livestock farming or for hygiene reasons.
In Araia (A), the stabling is now a modern, large, hygienic structure, away from the homestead or house, which has little or nothing to do with the ones that those same farmers had halfway through the century.
