Calf-Tel.
First of its kind.
Second to none.
The world's number one choice for calf housing — designed, developed and manufactured by Hampel since the beginning.
Before Calf-Tel, animal housing was made mostly from wood — vulnerable to the elements, prone to deterioration, and a breeding ground for harmful bacteria. We believed thermoforming could do better.
Born from a better idea
Inspired by the belief that creative, well-designed thermoforming can make the world a better place, we set out to build a calf hutch that would reduce disease, save more calves' lives, require fewer antibiotics, and bring healthier, more cost-effective dairy products to homes around the world. Today, Calf-Tel is the world's number one choice for calf housing.
A superior alternative
Calf-Tel is the only thermoformed calf-housing system on the market with a draw depth of nearly 60" — and it's Hampel's deep-draw technology that forms each hutch from a single sheet of strong, durable plastic. In fact, they last so long that it's not unusual to see Calf-Tel systems in use for 25 years or more, even in the most brutal weather.
A brand the dairy world trusts
Over the years, Hampel has expanded into a complete line of calf-housing products and calf-raising consultancies. For nearly 30 years, the dairy world has turned to the experts at Calf-Tel for calf-management techniques. With an estimated two million calves raised in Calf-Tel housing every year, the verdict is in.
