										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Cold stress in young calves can significantly reduce feed intake, immune response, and early growth performance. The Select Sires Calf Coat is engineered to help calves maintain optimal body temperature during cold weather conditions, particularly when temperatures drop to 40°F or below.</p>
<p>This premium calf coat combines advanced insulation technology with a rugged, farm-ready outer shell. The proprietary insulation actively pulls moisture away from the calf’s body, helping reduce dampness while improving thermal efficiency. The result is a drier, warmer calf that is better able to maintain energy for growth and immune development.</p>
<p>The outer shell is constructed from high-strength polyester with a urethane backing, making it water-resistant and highly durable in demanding barn environments. Double-row high-density stitching reinforces key stress points, ensuring long-lasting performance through repeated use and washing.</p>
<p>Inside, a smooth quilted lining enhances comfort, reducing irritation and helping calves acclimate quickly to wearing the coat. Adjustable fastening systems allow for a secure yet flexible fit as calves grow.</p>
<h3>Advanced Thermal Protection</h3>
<ul>
<li>Proprietary insulation system designed to wick moisture away from the calf</li>
<li>Helps maintain core body temperature in cold stress conditions</li>
<li>Reduces dampness that can contribute to chilling and illness</li>
</ul>
<h3>Durable, Water-Resistant Construction</h3>
<ul>
<li>High-strength polyester outer shell with urethane backing</li>
<li>Resists moisture penetration in wet or snowy conditions</li>
<li>Reinforced double-row stitching improves longevity in daily farm use</li>
</ul>
<h3>Calf Comfort &amp; Ease of Use</h3>
<ul>
<li>Smooth, quilted inner lining for maximum comfort</li>
<li>Lightweight design supports natural calf movement</li>
<li>Reduces irritation and stress during wear</li>
</ul>
<h3>Adjustable Fit for Growing Calves</h3>
<ul>
<li>Adjustable Velcro® brisket strap for secure closure</li>
<li>Elastic leg straps with heavy-duty plastic buckles</li>
<li>Easy on/off design for fast application and removal</li>
</ul>
<h3>Biosecurity &amp; Maintenance</h3>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Woolover calf coat is a high-performance wool blanket designed to keep dairy and beef calves warm, dry, and focused on growth instead of maintaining body heat. By reducing cold stress, Woolover helps calves convert more of their feed intake into gain, supporting stronger early-life performance, improved health, and better long-term productivity.</p>
<p>Made from a premium 70% wool / 30% polyester blend, Woolover combines natural insulation with added strength and durability. Wool fibers provide excellent thermal regulation while remaining breathable, helping prevent overheating and moisture buildup under the coat. Wool can also absorb up to one-third of its weight in moisture while still insulating, drawing dampness away from the calf’s skin to maintain a dry, comfortable environment.</p>
<p>Unlike standard calf jackets, Woolover is designed to protect the critical heart and lung area, helping stabilize core body temperature during cold or fluctuating weather conditions. This targeted warmth supports better immune function, improved vigor, and more consistent growth rates in young calves.</p>
<p>Each coat features a secure hook-and-loop belly strap to ensure a proper fit and consistent coverage without restricting movement. Woolover can typically be left on calves for up to eight weeks and may be reused when properly maintained, making it a durable and practical option for calf-rearing programs.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[Accel Energy is a dry fat-based energy supplement formulated to support young cattle during cold stress, weather challenges, and periods of reduced intake. With 60% fat and 7% protein plus added vitamins and minerals, it increases the energy density of milk or milk replacer to help calves maintain growth and health.
<ul>
 	<li>60% fat and 7% protein for concentrated energy support</li>
 	<li>Designed for cold weather stress and high-maintenance periods</li>
 	<li>Mixes directly into whole milk or milk replacer</li>
 	<li>Supports growth, immunity, and energy balance</li>
 	<li>25 lb. bag provides approximately 200 doses</li>
</ul>
<strong><a href="/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Accel-Energy.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Product Details</a></strong>]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Cold stress is one of the most energy-demanding challenges a calf will face. When temperatures drop, calves require significantly more calories just to maintain body heat, often at the expense of growth and immune function. Accel Energy is designed to close that energy gap without disrupting your existing feeding program.</p>
<p>Formulated with spray-dried animal fat (60% fat content), Accel Energy delivers highly digestible, readily available calories that rapidly increase the energy density of milk or milk replacer. Combined with 7% protein plus essential vitamins and minerals, it supports both maintenance energy needs and early growth performance. This makes Accel Energy especially valuable during:</p>
<ul>
<li>Cold weather events and winter management periods</li>
<li>Scours recovery or reduced feed intake situations</li>
<li>Transport, commingling, or environmental stress</li>
<li>Early life when energy demands are highest</li>
</ul>
<p>By increasing caloric intake in a simple, palatable format, Accel Energy helps calves maintain consistent growth rates, improve survival under stress, and stay on track during critical development windows.</p>
<ul>
<li>High-energy 60% fat formula provides dense calories to meet increased maintenance requirements during cold stress and energy drain periods.</li>
<li>Seven percent protein with added vitamins and minerals supports metabolic function, immune response, and nutrient utilization during periods of stress.</li>
<li>Spray-dried animal fat technology delivers rapidly available energy that is easily digested and efficiently utilized by calves.</li>
<li>Mixes with milk or milk replacer, integrating seamlessly into existing feeding programs without requiring ration changes.</li>
<li> Supports calves during weather extremes, transport, weaning transitions, and illness recovery.</li>
</ul>
