Pickup-Powered Calf Warmer DAIRY EQUIPMENT & IDEAS Dairy Equipment & Ideas 20-6-24 This new portable calf warmer and dryer slides into your pickup bed and operates off the vehicle's heating system, allowing you to warm and dry newborn calves right in your pasture.
"It can thoroughly dry a calf in less than two hours," says inventor Jerry Wilson, Malta, Montana. "It can hold up to three newborn calves at a time."
The cylinder-shaped "Wilson Warmer" is made from hard plastic and is 3 ft. wide, long, and high. It mounts on steel skids and is equipped with a 20,000 btu water heater and blower at one end and a clear plexiglass door at the other end. The heater is connected by quick coupler hoses to the pickup's water heater and is controlled by a thermostat that operates off the pickup battery. The blower, also operated by the pickup battery, circulates warm air under and around the animal.
Sells for $795 including heater hoses. A 4-ft. model is also available that sells for $895.
