2025 start calving and using rugs tonight
This little girl has cold mouth she is only half an hour old
Well two years ago her mumma wore these rugs now their babies are using same rugs

As Perdita Thomson said calving has started for 2025.
I couldn’t even hazard a guess how many calves this rug has covered nor how many washes it has had. These rugs just keeps on giving which makes them an excellent investment.
Perdita swears by our rugs, with this new calf rug on with a heat pad to avoid hypothermia and to help regulate her body temperature.

Love getting news what happens on farm with Harmish and Perdita.

​We have made the front strap and buckle of generous length along with extra length on the leg straps, this allow for more growth from your rug.
The reason behind making canvas rugs:

You mightn't have shedding

You need to rug a calf on a cow

You rear calves outdoors requiring a good strong rug with fencing

​Other farmer are placing these rugs on to acclimatise their calves and to stop them dropping back to much saving all of that hard work of rearing that have gone into them

🐐🐐🐐 GOAT RUGS WITH BELLY STRAPS 🐐🐐🐐
Our design is different to others more comfortable for the animal that a rug will sit correct and not swing around the neck stain placing on the shoulders and withers.
​The rear of the rug comes forward enough for either kids drinking or you milking without fabric getting in the way of the udder. Long adjustable webbing is used for the surcingle which you can adjust the length for pregnancy as the doe becomes heavy in kid and also take in as required. Our ICU "U" cut around the tail dock does not place any weight on this area with nerves. The front of the rug comes with generous strap and the top of the rug flake sheep wool is sewn to prevent pressure on their withers.
We have 2 different fabric's for our Goat Coats

Dear Nicola and family,

Please accept our sincere condolences on the passing of Matt.
Our thoughts are with you and your extended families.

Just four weeks ago, we bear witness to grit and determination personified – as Matt Templeton stood in the International Dairy Week ring on the strap of View Fort Lambda Butter, taking crowning honours in our National Holstein Show.

We had the joy of watching him critique and share his wisdom as the National Jersey Show judge – an honour that he was so proud to have accepted.

The awarding of the Lex Bunn Award, provided the avenue to acknowledge a legacy borne through breeding, fitting and judging – in turn impacting countless people not just from the International Dairy Week community but far beyond that.

And today, with heavy hearts we remember an exemplary cow man – who we are so grateful to have had the opportunity to celebrate on our 35th Anniversary year.

Matt Templeton was for so long a supporter and champion for the people in our industry, for great dairy cows and for setting standards that so many of us strive for.

Our love goes to Nicola, Geri, Harlie, Bruce, Jan and their extended family. And to the many people so deeply impacted by Matt – we wrap our arms around you all as we remember a man whose legacy will continue to touch so many of us.

Rest peacefully Matt.

One of our own needing some extra help from a calf rug over the weekend.
Our calf is about 3.5 weeks old, born a little early has always been a very quiet sleepy calf. During the heat (in Victoria) over the past few weeks we have done our best to keep them shady. This young girl spent and entire day out in the sun. ☀️ 😫 She was very weak, couldn’t stand, dry nose. Dehydrated. We started hydrating her and helping her out. Then true Victoria weather went from 38 to 12 degrees.
We popped a rug on her to help her with her body temperature. She started to improve, standing and walking for a feed. We have now removed the rug, and she is doing well.

👉👉 REVIEW TIME 👈👈

Thanks Becky Horsham for the review for our Photosensitive and Show Rugs.

"These rugs are brilliant. Had a few photo cows earlier in the season.
No rug = affected cow spending most of her day standing under a tree. Doesn’t eat. Loses weight. Loses her milk. Eventually knackery
Rug on = continued to eat with the herd. Continued to milk. Minimal signs of distress. Three weeks later basically back to normal.
Highly recommend 🙌"

This weather, the days are scorchers, you can feel the sun burning.
If you find yourself with a sunburnt cow please remember that we make photosensitivity covers for your cattle.
On another note the being of the new year Show Season starts!
We have Cow Show Rugs which are so handy for keeping your animal clean, but also if you crate transport or truck without a roof cover these rugs can save your animal from windburn.
If you have to truck a load of cattle they will travel well with tye rugs on. These rugs great for out in the paddocks.

Get in early with your orders and don't leave it until the last minute as you may miss out.

Whilst its very dry and hot where we are, however, Autumn is just around the corner, with some people preparing for or already are calving. Do you have a kit ready to go?

Have a look at these calves rugged up and out side with their canvas rugs on.

These canvas rugs are one of our greatest lines of calf rugs. Waterproof, fully woolen lined and most important the rug breathes. It is so important to the well being of your animals if you are going to place a rug on, that they breathe and avoid sweating underneath the rug.

These are very robust rugs and can take a lot of punishment, and tipping the calves out of the calf shed into a open paddock.
