Calf-Rescue Blankets™ - 4 ft. x 4 ft.

Calf-Rescue Blankets™ have an inner surface that reflects over 90% of a calf’s body heat back to the calf, and an outer surface that absorbs 94% of solar radiation. The outer surface also absorbs radiation from heat lamps or other artificial sources. These blankets are not a replacement for traditional calf blankets, but are an inexpensive short-term solution to help a calf get to the stage when it can get to its feet and take milk without assistance. If the calf is going to be left unattended, the cover can be tucked around the animal in a way that the cover will readily come off when the animal stands. If an attendant is present to monitor the calf, the cover can be further affixed to the animal by cutting holes for the animal’s legs and using tape to secure the cover around the animal’s core. The blankets are waterproof and very resistant to tearing. May be used as a skid to move a calf short distances. Warnings: Make sure that calves cannot become entangled in the blankets and injure themselves, use each blanket only once and then properly dispose of the used blanket, although nontoxic, do not allow calves to chew or eat blankets. 4 ft. x 4 ft.
