Abstract:

The present invention relates to a portable calf dryer apparatus comprising a wheeled container having two compartments, a calf-receiving compartment for drying and warming a calf and a heater unit-storing compartment separate from the calf-receiving compartment for housing either a battery-operated or electrically-powered heater unit means which generates heated air which passes through a vent into the calf-receiving compartment to dry and warm the calf therein and for separating the calf from the heater unit means so that the calf isn't burned by the heater unit means. The apparatus further comprises a removable bottom wall which functions as a tray to receive the dropping from the calf, which drops through a mesh-like platform removeably suspended inside the calf-receiving compartment, upon which a calf is placed for drying and warming to regain its energy, and also comprising a canvas hood removeably mounted above the calf-receiving compartment to retain the heated air inside the compartment and to shelter the calf from the elements of the environment while the calf dries and warms. The portable calf dryer apparatus can be operatively used at and conveniently moved to any located as desired by the user.
