Did You Know? University tests and tens of I,ooos of satisfied dairy producers have proven isolation calf housing, hutches, are absolutely the best way to raise healthy calves Progressive dairy producers do not sacrifice calf health for personal convenience. Calf-tel is the only thermoformed hutch. Thermoforming is a process that imparts strength to the polymer like forging does to steel. Rotocastmg, a process used by all other plastic hutch manufacturers, creates a weaker, less durable product that is prone to cracking. Calf-tel is the only hutch manufactured with completely opaque material to effectively eliminate the green house effect. This heat trapping effect overheats calves when temperatures climb above 80° F and also causes uncontrollable temperature swings daily when temperatures drop below freezing. Over 100,000 Calf-tels are hoping raise healthier, growthier calves worldwide from Florida through the sunbelt to California. newborn to 4 weeks 10.00-45.00 per head.

This quality material enables Hampel Corp. to warranty Calf-tel for ten years, the longest in the calf hutch industry. Long after competitive hutches are discarded, used Calf-tels sell from $ 125 to $2OO each-even after ten years of use. Such a high residual value decreases cost per hutch to as low as $l2 per year. When operator comfort is a concern, creative dairy producers have provided covered service alleys or placed Calf-tels in two or three sided shelters during inclement times. Watch this space for future calf rearing tips. • 64.00 900400 57.00 • 63.00 ■ 9140 - 9140 600-100 90t00 - 9940 -- 700-900 45.00 - 9340 - - Skuahtsr'CaMalTO had Statelier Cow* 155 fayed Breaking Util ity aad Commercial 24 29.06 -32.00 Cu tter and booing Utility 1-3 22.00 - 20.00 dressing 29.00 - 3440 Canner and low Colter 1-2 17.00 - 2240 Slaughter bulb 15 head YO 1-2 900-1300 Iba 32.00 - 36.00 High yielding 37.00 - 40.00 YO 1-2 1300-1600 Ibe 32.00-37.00 YO 1-2 1600 Iba aad over 3240 - 37.00 Baby ealvea returned to firms 35 head newborn to 4 weeks 10.00-55.00 per head. ** The following are Slate Oiaded prices •* State Oiaded Feeder Cattle 20t head sold at Wytheville, Virginia on January 7, 1997.
