Calf hutches can be purchased from a variety of farm supply stores. The calf hutch shown on this page is made by Agri-Plastics and was purchased from the Sunderland Co-op – (705) 357-3491.  Keep in mind, having an outdoor pen for your Newf does not mean your Newf has to be an outdoor dog.  If you have any questions, please contact Peter at (705) 328-2382.

Installation

Level a 7-foot by 9-foot by 1-foot deep depression for the base of the calf hutch. Create a small mound in the middle, level the interior perimeter.

Place two 6-foot by 4-foot stall mats (a.k.a. cow mats) across the raised mound. Spray with hose to ensure good drainage. If water pools, adjust accordingly.

Position calf hutch on stall mats.

Backfill with gravel. This will secure the calf hutch and prevent it from shifting in high winds.

Features
