Chicken Sweaters
Chickens in the barnyard face harsh winters that can ruffle their feathers and lower egg production. Bison down sweaters from the Buffalo Wool Co.’s Barnyard Bison line provide a warm, lightweight layer of insulation. Made from bison undercoat, these sweaters trap heat to keep chickens cozy, while their natural water-repellent properties fend off dampness that can lead to illness. With a bison down sweater, chickens stay comfortable and productive, even on the coldest days, ensuring a happy flock and a steady supply of eggs. We have them available for the regular cluckers, and the four legged ones we raise here (less fights over drumsticks)
Next up is my personal favorite, we no longer have goats here at RATHranch, but that didn't stop us from making these... so comfortable and so useful
Goat Gaiters
In the open pasture, goats face biting winds and chilly mornings that can leave them vulnerable to cold stress. Bison down neck gaiters from the Buffalo Wool Co.’s Barnyard Bison line offer a cozy solution. Crafted from the warm, lightweight undercoat of bison, these gaiters insulate the neck—where goats lose significant heat—keeping them comfortable while they graze. The natural water-repellent bison wool also shields against dampness, reducing the risk of respiratory issues in wet conditions. For goats, these neck gaiters are a simple, effective way to stay warm and healthy, no matter the weather. available in our Extreme (90/10 bison/nylon) and Pro-gear (Bison/silk)
Porcine Balaclavas
In cold weather, a balaclava keeps a pig’s sensitive face and ears insulated, preventing frostbite and reducing stress from low temperatures, which can impact their health and growth. Keeping the pig’s face dry and reducing the risk of skin irritations or infections in damp environments. Plus, the balaclava can offer a bit of protection from pasture debris like dust or small insects that might irritate their eyes or snout while they root around. For a barnyard pig, a bison fiber balaclava isn’t just a quirky accessory—it’s a practical layer of comfort and defense against the elements.
Cow Socks
Wet hooves can lead to issues like foot rot or infections in cattle, especially in muddy or snowy pastures. Bison fiber socks could help mitigate this by keeping the area around the hooves drier, reducing the likelihood of bacterial growth. Additionally, bison fiber is naturally durable and resilient, so the socks would likely hold up well against the rough terrain cattle often traverse, such as rocky or frozen ground, without wearing out quickly.
Best Friend Beds
A bison fiber-filled, waterproof, and durable dog bed from the Buffalo Wool Co. is ideal for your dog because it offers exceptional warmth and temperature regulation with bison fiber’s fine, insulating structure (17-22 microns), keeping them cozy in cold climates like the Sierra Nevada while preventing overheating in warmer weather. The waterproof Ottertex Canvas Cover protects the filling from moisture, making it perfect for messy dogs or outdoor use, easy just to hose it down, while the bed’s durability ensures it withstands scratching, digging, or chewing from active dogs, with a removable, washable cover for easy maintenance.
