In this clip the panelists, discussed the following topic: "What every solar grazier should put in their sheep first aid box: What equipment do you need to bring to a solar site?" Here's what they recommend for their first aid toolkit- - You need to have a good relationship with the veterinarians these days - so have a doctor name and phone number, tape to your dashboard. - Keep halters in your truck - Shepherd’s crook - A small aluminum gate-based pen for sites that are not close to your farm - Multiple pairs of foot clippers - Deworming medication and antibiotics - General eye medication/ointment - For wound care, have a pocket knife, as well as beta-dine and some gauze, in case you need to clean something up. It's good to have things like epsom salts. - Thermometer - Bandage scissors - Notebook and pen to keep records - Fly spray - Flunixin - Small bucket with grain Panelists: - Cindy Wolf - Veterinarian from the University of Minnesota, - Judy St. Leger - Veterinary pathologist, solar grazier, and Founding ASGA Member - Caroline Owens - ASGA Board Member with a long history raising sheep, experienced solar grazier, and Founding ASGA Member.
