Description

The Woolover calf coat is a high-performance wool blanket designed to keep dairy and beef calves warm, dry, and focused on growth instead of maintaining body heat. By reducing cold stress, Woolover helps calves convert more of their feed intake into gain, supporting stronger early-life performance, improved health, and better long-term productivity.

Made from a premium 70% wool / 30% polyester blend, Woolover combines natural insulation with added strength and durability. Wool fibers provide excellent thermal regulation while remaining breathable, helping prevent overheating and moisture buildup under the coat. Wool can also absorb up to one-third of its weight in moisture while still insulating, drawing dampness away from the calf’s skin to maintain a dry, comfortable environment.

Unlike standard calf jackets, Woolover is designed to protect the critical heart and lung area, helping stabilize core body temperature during cold or fluctuating weather conditions. This targeted warmth supports better immune function, improved vigor, and more consistent growth rates in young calves.

Each coat features a secure hook-and-loop belly strap to ensure a proper fit and consistent coverage without restricting movement. Woolover can typically be left on calves for up to eight weeks and may be reused when properly maintained, making it a durable and practical option for calf-rearing programs.

Directions for Use

  • Place the coat on a clean, dry calf.
  • Ensure the Woolover fully covers the heart and lung area and sits evenly along the back and sides for maximum thermal protection.
  • Fasten the strap under the belly snugly. The coat should be secure but not tight.
  • Fasten rear-leg buckle straps.
