• INEXPENSIVE
“Hutches Help These
Dairymen Save More
Calves,” outdoor calf hut
ches have been around for a
long time, yet it has only
been in the last five years
that their use has really
caught hold, particularly in
the Midwest. Hutches were
originally thought of as an
inexpensive alternative to
farmers who couldn’t afford
better kinds of housing.
Many farmers are now
choosing to use hutches
instead of more conventional
forms of housing. According
to Hoard’s Dairyman;
“They have brought an end
to heavy calf losses on scores
of farms, especially those
farms where poor facilities
had resulted in respiratory
troubles.” Surveys of far
mers in the Ephrata area
seem to support these
claims. The meeting is open
to the general public and
refreshments will be served.
For any additional in
formation, contact Jack
Shrimplin or Charles Ackley
at the Ephrata High School,
717-733-7961 (ext. 261).
