Improved Growth: Calves housed in hutches tend to grow better than those housed in other types of housing.
This is likely due to the increased comfort and reduced stress levels provided by the individual housing.
Types of Calf Hutches
There are several types of calf hutches available on the market, each with its own set of advantages and disadvantages.
Here are the most common types of calf hutches:
Igloo Hutches: Igloo hutches are shaped like igloos and are made of a durable, lightweight material such as plastic.
They are easy to clean and provide excellent ventilation.
A-Frame Hutches: A-Frame hutches are shaped like the letter "A" and are made of wood or metal.
They provide good ventilation and protection from the elements.
Hoop-Style Hutches: Hoop-style hutches are made of metal tubing and are covered with a tarp or other material.
They offer good ventilation and protection from the elements.
Individual Pens: Individual pens are made of wood or metal and provide more space than other types of calf hutches.
They are typically used for older calves that need more room to move around.
Place the calf in a warm, safe and secure area.
Any place that provides shelter for the calf away from inclement weather or other animals will be sufficient.
A barn with a small pen inside is sufficient.
A calf hutch, be it bought or made, is also good for the calf.
The fence should be enough so the calf cannot escape should he decide to wander away for a little bit.
Make sure you pack the ground with straw for the calf to sleep on (applicable to those who calve in the winter or early spring).
Do not simply put a calf in a barn without any sort of bedding.
Calves are much more susceptible to cold than cows are, and a thick bed of straw will keep the calf nice and warm.
For those calves born in the summer, he should have an area where he will be shaded from the sun for most of the day.
However, calves also need their Vitamin D, so don't devoid him completely of any access to any sunny areas the calf might like to sleep in.
