For cows to produce milk, they have to give birth to a calf.
However, about three quarters of the heifers will become replacements for adult milk-producing cows.
Heifer calves are reared and then exported to overseas dairy farms. Bobby calves may be killed at the farm.
A bobby calf is:
- No more than 30 days old.
- usually weighs less than 80kg live weight.
- Is commonly a dairy breed or cross.
- They are sold for meat or reared for dairy-beef.
Approximately 400,000 bobby calves are processed each year in Australia. thus creating local jobs and providing a valuable protein resource.
This is the ideal present for someone that you know who wants to add that special something to their home. Perhaps even treat yourself.
Made of stainless steel this black Cow and Calf Weathervane will give years and years of enjoyment and service.
The Cow and Calf weather Vane has been powder coated. Just like the early Ford Cars you can any colour as long as it is black.
How It Works
Both the arrow and the cow and calf figures revolve on a ball bearing over a solid bushed stainless steel shaft.
Well balanced and proportionally correct these Australian made weathervanes from Glenview Products actually work.
Installation
A stainless steel mounting plate is available for fixing to a flat surface such as the ridge line of a metal roof or a wooden garden post.
Alternatively there is a stainless steel gable bracket available for fixing to the apex of the gable (see Fixing Brackets).
If you would like to order a fixing bracket to suit this product, please select from the product options above.
Fixing brackets ordered with an Aussie Weathervane will not incur any additional delivery charges.
Which one to use ?
- The Gable Bracket attaches the weathervane to the face of the Gable. Suitable for both Tile and Metal Roofs.
- Because the shaft extends down the face of the Gable, it is 200mm longer than the ridge line bracket.
- The Mounting Plate is supplied flat. Slots cut into the plate enable it to be bent to the exact pitch of the roof.
- Used on the roof ridge of metal roofs. Also adaptable to flat surfaces and mounting on posts.
