Why should I use a calf blanket for my calves?

A calf blanket helps keep your calf warm, especially in cold weather or immediately after birth. This reduces stress and energy loss, allowing the calf to focus its energy on growth and development. This reduces the risk of health problems.

From what age is it best to use a calf blanket?

It is best to put on a calf blanket immediately after birth, especially if the temperature is low. For young calves up to about 3-4 weeks old, or as long as they need extra warmth, a blanket is very useful. Pay close attention to your calf's signals.

How can I tell if my calf is too hot when wearing a calf coat?

Check the temperature under the blanket regularly by placing your hand between the blanket and the calf’s back. If it feels damp or sweaty there, your calf is probably too warm. Also watch for rapid breathing or lethargy.
