Award for calf milk warmer

A machine which heats cold milk from a reservoir as and when required by ad-lib fed calves has won the RABDF Livestock Machinery and Equipment Award at the Livestock Event in England.

The Heatwave Milk warmer gives the calf (or lambs or goat kid) access to warm milk on multiple occasions during the day.

“We were impressed by the very practical, simple and cost effective system which should enable farmers to do a better job with less effort,” said Angus Wielkopolski, RABDF council member and chairman of the judges.
