Calf Care™ Modular Buildings
The ideal environment for calf housing and therefore, the people who work with them.
Why Choose a Calf Care Building?
Calves Get a Good Start
Young calves grow in total comfort and maximum support in their more fragile early days because they are housed in Art’s Way Calf Care modular buildings. Mortality rates are significantly reduced, rate of gain is improved, and most of all herd management is easier.
Complete Climate Controlled Comfort
First of all, providing good air quality is key to a successful program. Excess heat or cold will cause stress and can impact calf health. Calf Care modular buildings provide:
• Outside air preheated in winter and cooled in the summer.
• Continuous air movement through controlled exhaust fans.
• Good quality air without drafts due to louvered air inlets.
• Insulated panel wall systems in order to create a tight building shell.
