[QUOTE="randiliana, post: 286091, member: 2308"] What you are talking about (the larger ones) are probably calf shelters. A small building on skids that the calves can get into to get out of the weather, but the cows can't. A warming (or hot) box, here at least, is a small crate that can hold 1 calf. Usually they are made of plastic, but can be made out of plywood or whatever. It has a heater in it with a fan that will warm up a chilled/hypothermic calf and dry it out as well. We have used them, but usually they need at the very least a draft free area to work well. [/QUOTE]
