Product Image
Product Overview	The 5-Calf Group Hutch with Front Fence is designed for small-group calf rearing after the individual-housing stage. The system provides a protected fiberglass shelter combined with a galvanized feeding fence for up to five calves. Small-group housing allows calves to develop social behavior while maintaining convenient observation and management. The self-closing front locking system can temporarily restrain calves at the feeding openings, making bedding replacement, health checks and routine pen management easier. The smooth shelter interior, roof ventilation, lifting rings and detachable front fence make the unit suitable for commercial dairy farms, calf-rearing centers and outdoor livestock housing projects.
Key Features	Up to Five Calves: Designed for small-group housing during the transition from individual calf pens. Self-Closing Locking Fence: Calves can be automatically restrained when placing their heads through the feeding openings. Durable Fiberglass Shelter: Fiberglass-reinforced polyester offers corrosion resistance and long outdoor service life. Galvanized Front Fence: Heavy-duty steel fencing provides reliable livestock separation and feeding access. Natural Ventilation: Roof openings improve airflow inside the group shelter. Smooth Hygienic Interior: Easy-clean internal surfaces simplify washing between calf groups. Easy Relocation: Integrated lifting rings allow the hutch to be moved using suitable farm equipment. All-In-All-Out Management: Suitable for group-based calf management and cleaning between batches. Flexible Feeding Accessories: Bucket holders, feed troughs, teat-bucket holders and hay racks can be added as required.

Structural Principle	Group Housing: Up to five calves share the sheltered resting area, supporting a gradual transition from individual housing to larger group systems. Feeding Access: Five feeding positions allow calves to access milk, water or concentrate from the front of the hutch. Automatic Restraint: When required, the self-closing mechanism locks calves at the feeding openings as they place their heads through the fence. Release: After management work is completed, the locking mechanism can be released so the calves can move freely again. Cleaning: The front fence can be detached and the shelter can be lifted using the integrated hoisting rings, providing convenient access to the bedding and floor area.
