[QUOTE="redluv, post: 651931, member: 11034"] 1. Pros- hair growth Cons- its hard on them when you take them out to a show, especially one in the summer heat. I have had calves in an air conditioned room. If you are thinking of doing this, keep in mind the room needs to be [b][u]well[/u][/b] insulated. The calves need to be checked often, the a/c can go out and the room can turn into an oven. Its also kind of expensive, especially if the unit isn't big enough. It has to fight the animals' body temp and if you put fans in there, they will also put out heat. 2 & 3. With our animals, they started getting put in the a/c in mid May. They stayed in there from the time the sun came up until the sun went down (or was around 75 degrees at night), until the end of show season. The temp was set at 55-60 degrees. 4. Rinse them every day, even if they aren't put in the a/c if you decide to use fans. It helps train the hair. If they do go in the a/c, they will need to be dried completely, otherwise the humidity in the room will be too high and the a/c will burn itself out. [/QUOTE]
