With a lot of calves and a lot of different calf feeders, it can be hard for everyone to keep track of what’s going on with each hutch. When a calf is sick, we wrap a few pieces of bright yellow caution tape around the fence of its hutch. This alerts the calf feeders to keep an eye on this calf, and if the calf needs any assistance eating, they know to help it last so as to not contaminate the other calves.
