Calf Buddy fits into all sorts of farm systems:

Individual until weaning

If your farm is set up for raising calves in single pens, then use the Calf Buddy Teat in your existing hutch buckets or use the Calf Buddy™ 1.
The Calf Buddy™ Teat controls the flow to improve calf health and reduce your time.

 

 

Individual to groups

After the single phase, putting calves into groups reduces time and has benefits such as increasing grain consumption and reducing stress in your calves.

 

 

Buddies from Day 1

Pairing calves from Day 1 is easy with Calf Buddy™! Calves learn more quickly and consume more dry feed in pairs.

 

Buddies in bigger groups

To save even more time, follow the same protocol, and start your calves in groups of five with the Calf Buddy™ 5!
