{"title":"Calf jackets \u0026 hutches","description":"\u003cp\u003eA newborn calf has little fat reserve and quickly loses heat in a cold, draughty hutch. A calf jacket holds in that warmth during the weeks when the calf is still small. On this page you will find calf jackets for the cold season and a lighter jacket for summer. We do not yet have calf hutches in the range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhen a calf jacket makes sense\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA jacket mainly helps newborn and weak calves, calves kept outdoors in a hutch or igloo, and on nights when it gets properly cold. A dry, well-bedded lying area and a draught-free spot remain the basis; a jacket is an addition to that, not a replacement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eChoosing size and version\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Calf Coat calf jackets come in 70 and 80 cm. Measure the calf before ordering and, if in doubt, choose the size it can still grow into over the coming weeks. The fastenings are available separately, so you can replace a broken fastening without buying a new jacket. The Bodyguard calf summer jacket is intended for warmer days.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat to watch for\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCheck every day that the jacket is dry and not rubbing at the withers or chest. A wet or dirty jacket can do more harm than good, so keep a spare jacket to hand if you cover several calves at once. Take the jacket off as soon as the calf no longer needs it, so it does not overheat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMore for young calves is in \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/calf-rearing\"\u003ecalf rearing\u003c\/a\u003e.
