CRI Calf Coats Available on Saturday

I have 2 CRI Calf Coats that will be available for pickup at the Maritime Beef Test Station on Saturday, October 20th.  I currently have a small (blue) and large (brown).  I can bring more in if there are more orders.  They are also available in extra large (purple).  All 3 sizes are priced the same at $48.00 CDN plus GST or HST each.  We have used these coats on calves that come on cold nights to help retain heat.  Here is a link for more information, http://genex.crinet.com/page206/CRICalfCoats.

They make great Christmas gifts for those calving this winter.

Contact Kurt if you are interested.

You can also contact your local Genex representative to order.




Here is a Mutch Farms Simmental calf from last winter in a large sized CRI Calf Coat.
