Cold protection
The Calf Comfy is designed to keep new-born calves warm and dry. The blanket’s washable, triple-layer design has waterproof Ultrex on the exterior, fleece on the interior and Thinsulate in the middle.
Keeping the calf warm and dry helps it to eat sooner.
The cow can still lick the calf, but can’t remove the Comfy.
Ear Comfys are also available to protect ears from freezing. They enclose the top of the head and ears in a single bonnet.
Tail Tucks protect the tail while allowing it free range of movement. Comfys come in a range of colors and can be imprinted with the herd name or logo.
