Pickup-Powered Calf Warmer
 |
"It can thoroughly dry a calf in less than two hours," says inventor Jerry Wilson, Malta, Montana. "It can hold up to three newborn calves at a time."
The cylinder-shaped "Wilson Warmer" is made from hard plastic and is 3 ft. wide, long, and high. It mounts on steel skids and is equipped with a 20,000 btu water heater and blower at one end and a clear plexiglass door at the other end. The heater is connected by quick coupler hoses to the pickup's water heater and is controlled by a thermostat that operates off the pickup battery. The blower, also operated by the pickup battery, circulates warm air under and around the animal.
Sells for $795 including heater hoses. A 4-ft. model is also available that sells for $895.
