These custom-fit bundles will allow you to effectively deal with 90+% of what comes up. Because when you have livestock, things come up.

We've seen it all on our farm – which is run a lot more like your homestead than a commercial farm – and these products are what we use. With decades of combined experience in holistic and conventional husbandry, Suzanne and Dr. Karreman have hand picked what you need to cover dozens of common emergencies and health issues. Take the stress out of shopping, price comparing and trying to figure out which gauge needle you need to buy – we've done all the legwork with these first aid kits.

The Farmstead First Aid Kit

 

This is the Cadillac kit – if you want to be well stocked and prepared this is the kit for you. If DrK came on your farm to treat your animal, this is everything he would bring (with the exception of prescription drugs and a calcium gun, which is a separate device for large calcium boluses). 

His tool bag is now yours. These are the tools and supplies that DrK uses in The Stockholders Manual. The Manual is also available (separately) so you will know how to do just about anything that comes up that needs doing.

You cannot buy these items individually cheaper — and our quality is better. Imagine using a cheap needle and it breaking in the animal when you are doing an IV. True story. These are professional-grade tools straight from a veterinary distributor.

You will get two different packages, one from the farm and the other from our veterinary distributor. It may take a week or two for your package to arrive. We custom pack these for your order and there are a lot of parts carefully packaged. These items are sold only as a kit. No piecemeal. We will have partial restock kits available in the future.

Import duties, tariffs, taxes, and customs fees are the customer's responsibility and are not included in out prices. These may be collected upon delivery.
