Weaver Livestock ProCool Sheep Blanket — Large Gray, Breathable Mesh UV Protection, Lightweight Fit

This ProCool™ blanket combines breathable performance fabric, reflective detailing, and thoughtful fit features so you can keep sheep cool, clean, and visible during warm weather. Designed for animals that have been slick shorn or need a light protective layer, the blanket blocks the majority of harmful UV rays while resisting tears and abrasion in routine farm use. Its low weight and engineered panels help preserve natural motion so animals stay comfortable while wearing the cover for extended periods.

How does the ProCool™ blanket keep a lamb cool on hot days?

The blanket’s open mesh construction promotes continuous airflow across the animal’s coat and skin, reducing heat buildup after shearing. A ventilated mesh butt and strategically placed gussets increase circulation around high-movement areas so the animal can stay active without overheating.

• ProCool breathable mesh for maximum ventilation
• Mesh butt panel for added air exchange
• Leg gussets to prevent trapped heat around joints
• Lightweight overall weight for daylong comfort

Will this blanket protect my sheep from sun, flies, and dirt?

Yes — the fabric blocks 98% of UVA/UVB rays to reduce sun exposure on fresh shears and the rip-resistant weave provides a physical barrier against debris and some fly contact. The durable surface also helps keep fleece and skin cleaner compared with no cover at all.

• Blocks 98% of UVA/UVB rays for sun protection
• Rip-resistant material adds a barrier against dirt and light pests
• Easy-to-clean surface helps maintain hygiene between treatments

How does the blanket fit and stay secure without chafing the animal?

Adjustable belly straps with snap and ring ends tuck into interior pockets so the hardware does not rub the lamb’s skin. Reflective piping increases visibility while the cut and gusseting allow normal leg movement so the blanket stays in place without constraining the animal.

• Snap and ring belly strap ends rest inside protective pockets
• Reflective piping for increased visibility around the animal
• Leg gussets and tailored cut support natural mobility

How should I care for and store the ProCool™ blanket?

Routine care is simple: wash the blanket separately on a cold, gentle cycle and air-dry to preserve fabric integrity and reflective detailing. Avoid bleach and high-heat drying to maintain the mesh structure and UV-blocking performance over multiple seasons.

• Machine wash separately in cold water on gentle cycle
• Line dry only; do not bleach
• Compact package dimensions and light weight for convenient storage
