Valley View Vet Supply in Kansas wants you to stay safe on the farm during severe weather.
One of the first steps they recommend is to download a trusted weather app. That helps you stay informed and ahead of a possible severe storm. If you have multiple farms or family and friends in other towns, set up notifications in several areas. If you have livestock, bring them in during a severe weather watch. Don’t wait until it’s a warning. Have basic first-aid items on hand, such as wound care spray, gauze pads, and vet wrap, should they be needed for any injuries caused by the storm. Do some preparations well in advance. Have items safely secured in the barn to avoid as much debris as possible. Store enough fresh water to provide five to 10 gallons per horse per day should the water shut off. Microchip horses to help speed up recovery.
