Calving Season Essentials: Set Yourself Up for a Strong Start

Calving can be one of the most rewarding times on the farm. It can also be the moment when small gaps in prep turn into big stress. A calving kit that’s ready, clean, and easy to reach makes day-to-day calving smoother, and helps you respond faster when something isn’t quite right.

If you’re getting organised for the season, Mole Avon’s Calving & Calf Health range brings the key categories together in one place, so you can quickly find what you need for calving, early feeding, and hygiene. Whether you want to buy calving supplies online or stock up on calf health products, everything’s there to help you prepare properly. For more information: calving & calf care equipment

Get your calving equipment sorted before you need it

The best time to shop for calving essentials is before the first cow starts showing signs. It’s easier to check what you have, replace anything missing, and set up a clean, practical calving area.

The Calving Equipment section is designed to help you narrow down the tools and accessories used during calving, without having to search across lots of pages. That means less time hunting and more time focusing on the animals.

A simple tip: once you’ve got what you need, put it in one box or tub, label it, and store it where everyone can find it.

Support newborn calves with early feeding basics

Early feeding and calf health go hand in hand. In the first hours and days, it helps to have the right products available so you can stick to your routine and act quickly if a calf needs support.

Mole Avon groups early life support items under Scours & Colostrum, making it easier to choose products that fit how you manage your calves. Always follow product guidance and your vet’s advice on timing and amounts, especially when it comes to colostrum.

If you’re also planning calf feeding more broadly, the site points you to Animal Milk Powders as a helpful next category for feeding needs.

Keep hygiene and udder care simple and consistent

Cleanliness around calving reduces hassle later. Having udder care and hygiene essentials on hand helps you keep routines consistent, even on busy days. The Udder Care section is there for products that support hygiene and routine care around calving.

This is also where planning pays off. Stock up once, then top up as needed, instead of running short mid-season.

Dehorning supplies, all in one place

If dehorning is part of your system, it helps to have the right supplies ready and to rely on clear product details. Mole Avon’s Dehorning section groups dehorning-related supplies and accessories together, with a reminder to follow manufacturer guidance and to check what’s suitable for your setup.

A quick checklist for calving season prep

Before calving kicks off, do a fast run-through:

  • Check your calving kit and replace missing items
  • Review your early feeding plan and colostrum routine
  • Make sure you have scours support products you trust
  • Restock hygiene and udder care essentials
  • Confirm your approach to dehorning, if applicable

Easy ordering when timing matters

When you’re juggling stock checks, weather, and animals, the last thing you need is a complicated buying process. Mole Avon lets you order online and choose Delivery or Click & Collect at checkout, so you can fit supplies around your schedule. If you want help before you order, their team can point you to the right section based on what you’re trying to manage on the farm.

If calving season is on the horizon, now’s a good time to get your essentials in place. Having the right supplies ready helps you work calmly, stick to your routine, and give calves the best possible start.
