Dairy
farm on the South Islands Westcoast “It
never got wet / damp inside due to
it heating up with the sun shining
through the plastic film … they
enjoy it, always happy and run inside
if it is raining … gain weight
well and are always healthy …
had no losses … probably due
to minimal 'bad bug' build up due
to the sun on the floor … are
funny to watch when it is raining
and you come to feed them: They stay
inside the FlexiTunnel watching until
the milk is in the drum and then come
out of the shelter. It was a good
investment, the calves do well and
we grow good vegetables when the calves
are not using it.”

Calfrearers near Cambridge "Purchasing
a FlexiTunnel was cheaper than enlarging
my existing shed - and it is "flexible".
I can now shift the shelter where
ever I want to .... I appreciate the
care you put in your product, but
also the aftercare... good product,
great business!"

warm, wind free and low stress …
as good as a well constructed permanent
calf rearing system/facility …worthwhile
for us as sharemilkers, due to portability.”

in the Tunnel stayed dry all the time

it stayed in place! ... good investment

Dairy
farm near Feilding "the
weight gain and general condition
of the calves in the plastic house
were way ahead of the ones we reared
in the converted sheds. It got ot
the point where we were taking calves
out of the drafty sheds and putting
them in the plastic house for their
last two weeks of milk feeding."
