With calving season approaching, Farmer’s Business Network (FBN) is offering a Calving Kit designed to help ranchers and farmers prepare for the demands of this period. The kit consolidates essential supplies into one package, aiming to simplify preparation and reduce the time spent sourcing individual items.
Mike Galloway, a rancher, farmer, and creator of Our Wyoming Life, highlighted the importance of early preparation in an unboxing video. “It’s never too early to get ready for the season that sustains ranches and farms across the world,” said Galloway. “It’s a crucial time, and having the right tools to succeed is the first step.”
The FBN Calving Kit provides all necessary items in a single purchase. This approach helps prevent overbuying or missing critical supplies by including products such as obstetrical chains and handles for difficult births, lubricants, protective sleeves, shop towels for cleaning newborn calves, antiseptics like iodine and chlorhexidine solution, an Allflex tag pen for identification, and elastrator bands used in castration.
Galloway noted the convenience: “This is a one-time-order type of deal. All this comes in this handy little bucket that you can carry with you no matter how you set up your calving season.” He added: “If I have to start calving early, and I’m not completely set up, I know that I have everything that I need right here in this calving bucket. That’s what I like about it. It’s a great way to lump everything all together, get what you need, and be set up for calving season.”
The kit aims to support herd health by providing tools needed during difficult deliveries (dystocia) and antiseptics to prevent infections from minor abrasions or umbilical wounds. Galloway emphasized: “This season is of paramount importance to the overall success of livestock operations as it directly impacts the health and productivity of your herd. Having the right tools during calving becomes essential for the well being of both the animal and the farmers.”
Customers can order the FBN Calving Kit online at any time via computer or through mobile apps available on iPhone or Google Play.
FBN also offers other animal health products such as antibiotics, anti-inflammatories, dewormers, insecticides, implants, reproductive products, vaccines, and additional supplies aimed at supporting calf health throughout their development.
All FBN Direct products are distributed by FBN Inputs LLC where licensed and registered for sale or use. Farmers are advised to confirm product labeling for their specific needs before purchase or use.
