Jim Esselmann says
“Calf-tcl hutches are
best on the market.”
He knows!
Jim Esselmann knows what he’s talking about when he discusses
raising calves in hutches He operates a 100-plus dairy herd near
West Bend, WI In years past he’s expenenced severe heifer calf
losses, and of course, some of his best producers
Now, his losses are down to almost zero.
He used to raise his calves in the main bam Then, he installed a
liquid manure system and had to move his calf-raising out to •
avoid the affect of pit gasses That’s when he started with hutch
es He’s used several kinds plywood, chipboard, fiberglass,
and now, Calf-tei
“Calf-tel overcame all the problems we’d had with
hutches.”
O Says Jim, “We like the adjustable ndgc ventilators front and
rear These cool in summer, and in winter we can air out bad
odors and dampness that can turn to frost on the walls
@ “We especially like the hard, tough molded polymer matenal
of which Calf-tel hutches are made This polymer doesn’t soften
or sag in heat and it doesn’t get bnttle hard in winter The
matenal remains flexible so it doesn’t crack when handled or is
accidentally struck by machinery These hutches just look
indestructible

O “We like the off-set doorway, leaving two-thirds of the front
covered to protect against wind, rain and snow Calves apd their
bedding are protected Keeps us from having to get in there to
dig out snow This is a key design feature
0 ‘The steel reinforced base is only part of the long-lasting
rugged These hutches can be anchored at the
comers,'ll need be.
Jim goes on about “sanitation management”
“Particularly important is the smooth surface inside and out that
is so easy to clean and disinfect by hand scrubbing or pressure
washer Even the fiberglass huts we’ve had were rough on one
side which made sanitizing difficult and questionable
“One last factor that is important about raising calves in hutches
is that the investment per calf is low and these hutches are not
taxed as a permanent capital improvement such as would be the
case if we built a calf-raising and heifer bam These Calf-tel units
should even have good resale value They should almost last
forever ”
Jim, and son Jeff, have heifer calves worth saving The main
herd has a rolling herd average of 17,000 lbs 'of milk Several
cows are producing over 20,000 lbs with the best cow exceed
ing 25,000 lbs
Jeff just bought a Holstein herd from Pennsylvania 33 cows
milking with an average of 23,000 lbs, plus 25 heifers One cow
classified Excellent and 14 were rated Very Good Now, the
Esselmanns are milking 143 head They plan to save every
heifer calf from their valuable producers with-j Calf-tel hutches
