"We have used PolyDome Calf Nurseries at the Cargill Research Farm for
approximately two years and have been very happy with the results. When
managed properly, such as allowing for proper drainage, we found there is a
low incidence of health problems. Scouring and death loss has been
minimal." - W. Michael Craig, Dairy Research Nutritionist, Cargill Research
Farm, Elk River, MN
"Calves raised in PolyDomes gained more weight more rapidly than calves in
wooden hutches. Also, calves in PolyDomes were observed to be more active
and social than calves in wooden hutches...temperature was 15-20 degrees
Farenheit warmer in PolyDomes." - Dennis G. Johnson, Diary Scientist,
University of Minnesota, Test Results
"PolyDomes are excellent for starting calves. They are much warmer in the
winter." (Their 41 registered Holstein cows currently produce 19,154 lbs. of
milk with a butterfat record at 773.) - Ken Trevena, Herdsman, Hanover Hill
Holsteins, Port Perry, Ontario
"The calves definitely do better in the PolyDomes and are more trouble-free.
We sold one of our cows for $41,000 this past year. Her full sister was with
calves in a calf barn and we lost her after they all got sick. After that,
we switched to PolyDomes. We do a lot of ET work and need good facilities to
handle all the calves. So we use PolyDomes - they work!" - Berwald's
Registered Holsteins, Arlen Berwald & Sons, Toronto, SD
With 235 PolyDomes on the ground, this satisfied user writes: "Before
switching to PolyDomes we were raising calves in crates, causing
insurmountable problems. With PolyDomes we now medicate very few calves. Our
veterinarian has endorsed our program completely. The performance is well
beyond our expectations." - Mary Meyer, Gregerson Dairy, Longmont, CO
