Animal Care

Pro TipBuy for the animals you run and the jobs you do most across the year.

• Match the species — feeders, handling and health gear differ by animal and scale.
• Plan for the season — stock calving, lambing and marking gear before you need it.
• Keep consumables up — ear tags, needles, wound care and drench run out first.
• Invest in safety — handling and restraint gear is worth buying in quality.

• Colostrum on hand — antibodies in the first hours are vital for survival.
• Birthing aids — pullers and lambing aids for assisted deliveries.
• Warmth for weak young — get chilled calves, lambs and kids warm quickly.
• Mark and record — tag and mark to keep accurate stock records.
