Calf warmers provide essential protection from the elements when your calf is most vulnerable. Mother Nature doesn’t care that it’s calf season and subjects your newborns to the harshness of winter right after birth.
Now is the time to buy a calf warmer to protect them and help them make a quick recovery right after experiencing birth into their brave new world. Make sure you’re ready to protect them and that your young ones can recover from the birthing process out in the cold pasture.
Our calf warmers offer the best possible care for a newborn calf. They’re made of long-lasting polyethylene for durability and easy cleaning and create the perfect closed environment for a newborn during those first critical hours after birth.
The heater is located in a separate enclosure at the rear of the calf warmer and uses a circulating fan and automatic shutoff thermostat to regulate the airflow and keep vulnerable newborn calves warm. The inside has enough room so the animals can either stand or lie down during recovery. The calf’s instinctive identity scent is not removed, so waiting mothers will reclaim their rejuvenated infants at once.

You can also buy the heater separately if a replacement is necessary. It is the heart of the warmer and needs to be functioning properly to protect your animal. Make sure yours is in good working order or get an extra one to have on hand in case you need a replacement quickly. You don’t want to end up trying to keep your newborns warm in the cab of your truck!
Now is also the time to think about getting prepared with a calving pen or maternity pen. There are two types of pens to help you sort calves from difficult heifers. All sides of the square calving pens have an in-and-out swing gate and latch for easy access from any direction. The circular maternity pen has a confinement area that includes nursing panels on two sides. You can get an optional self-catching head-gate with either model to hold them safely.
