Woolover covers are a cost effective practical tool to reduce Kid mortality at the critical new-born stage (0-12) hours after birth.
Kid Cover: Approximately 14"L x 6.5"H
Fitting:
It is recommended that covers are left in place for up to 3 weeks (remove at docking time) to get maximum benefit, but if there is substantial improvement in the weather, covers can be removed and re-used for greatest economy. Woolover covers can be applied in about 30 seconds. The tail end is rolled forward and the lamb’s front legs, and then head, are inserted through the front holes (just like putting on a jersey). The tail end is then unrolled and the rear legs pulled through the holes. Care should then be taken to pull the cover up all the legs so it is snug against the lamb’s body. Survival is then assured in even very bad weather conditions.
Covers should not be left on lambs/kids for longer than 3 weeks, except for exceptionally small kids.
