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.

Calf-tel is the only hutch made of high
molecular weight polyethylene plastic with a
high load UV blocking pigment. 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.
