Calf Care Quick Tip: Jackets at the Ready

It’s time once again for calf jackets, and it’s important to provide clean jackets for newborn calves.

This tip comes to us from Jonathon Hallock at MarBec Dairy.  It’s time once again for calf jackets, and it’s important to provide clean jackets for newborn calves.  After washing and drying jackets, put them in plastic totes with covers.  Place those totes near your maternity area, warming pens or hutches so that they are conveniently placed for quick access.  This way, a newborn calf doesn’t have to wait to be protected from cool temperatures.
