Every calf or lamb dropped in the bitter cold of winter stands a chance of losing valuable body heat. You stand a chance of losing those newborns, and the income they represent. The box is made of tough, high-density polyethylene. Its interior size provides adequate space for calves to lie down and to stand up. Opposite the heater is a rubber "head boot" which permits the animal to breathe outside air when desired, yet holds the warm air in at all times. The "attic vent" allows excess moisture to escape.
Extension animal scientist, Ed Duren, University of Idaho says, "Cold stress is a significant factor in calf death loss in cold climates...being dropped on a cold, wet calving ground and left with the responsibility for survival by getting up, finding a teat and suckling is no small task even for the vigorousness of newborn calves.
Roy-L-Heat is dependable and easy to use with your real life needs in mind. A 110-volt heater circulates body temperature air around the animal. The heater is protected in a separate enclosure attached to the rear of the box and easily removes to make rinsing and disinfecting simple.

This Roy-L-Heat Calf Hutch warmer is wonderful. We have two on our ranch and they can save animals. I recommend putting them out in the calving pens and hooking them up to a battery or other electrical outlet. Then when a calf is in need of thermal care you can immmediately go to work on him by putting the animal in the hutch. I have also found this beneficial to use for a dog box. The thermostatic controlled heater will have your dog barking praises. This is a very rugged and durable product. I... Read complete testimonial. Is this testimonial helpful?

We purchased one of these calf warmers three years ago. I researched all of the ones available and found the features of the Roy-L-Heat best met our needs. We were calving first calf heifers in the snow, ice and bitter winds of SW Virginia and were staying up all night trying to warm calves, often three or four at a time. The first night we used this warmer it paid for itself. The calves (2) were born in wind chills of 10 degrees but were warmed and hungry as quickly as we could thaw colostr...
