Let me try to be cognizant and not hypocritical about this very concept as I rush to complete shopping lists and logistics for <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hobbyfarms.com\/keep-chickens-here-are-some-travel-tips-to-beat-anxiety\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">travel<\/a><\/strong> that include directions for the farm sitter. As I reflect on the year\u2014and the weather and the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hobbyfarms.com\/considering-animals-check-out-these-9-livestock-lessons\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">animals<\/a><\/strong> that are a big part of it\u2014it\u2019s really the simple things that come to the forefront.And although I call this piece &#8220;A Large Animal Vet\u2019s List of Thanks,&#8221; I\u2019m betting hobby farmers out there will find many similarities to their lists as well. In fact, you\u2019ve probably got some pieces of farm equipment on your lists that I could use myself, so I suppose this could also work double-duty as a sort of simple gift list.<\/p>\n<p>After all, you can never have too many Hot Hands, can you?<\/p>\n<div>\n<h2>Instant Thermometers<\/h2>\n<p>Quick, reliable, accurate and relatively cheap, these thermometers are a must-have piece of farm equipment for any vet. Don\u2019t let the old-timers regale you with stories about those mercury thermometers. Digital works just fine. Just be sure you have a few on-hand. They are easy to misplace or lose in tall grass, never to be seen again.<\/p>\n<h2>Alpaca\/Wool Socks<\/h2>\n<p>I have been lucky enough to receive a few pairs of socks made from alpaca fiber from various clients. They are wonderful. A hearty pair of wool socks will also do a darn fine job on those bitter, cold days that are coming.<\/p>\n<h2>Orange Knit Hat<\/h2>\n<p>If you can insulate the top of your head in cold weather, you\u2019ve won half the battle. The orange is a bonus in case you\u2019re in a remote wooded area <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/extension.illinois.edu\/blogs\/naturalist-news\/2022-11-17-tips-staying-safe-when-hiking-during-hunting-season-0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">during hunting season<\/a><\/strong>. Safety first.<\/p>\n<h2>Headlamp<\/h2>\n<p>The night comes early this time of year. When you can\u2019t afford to lose one hand while holding a flashlight, but you need to see two feet in front of you, a headlamp is the key. Trudging my way through a cow pasture at midnight? No problem. Investigating a wound on the belly of a horse in a dark stall? Easy peasy.<\/p>\n<h2>Coveralls<\/h2>\n<p>Depending on your location, lined coveralls are worth bonus points.\u00a0\u00a0Properly made, these things are nearly indestructible. No holes nor snags nor loose threads will stop me and, incredibly, they are relatively impervious to stains as well.<\/p>\n<p>Mine are a dark green for no particular reason, but any color will do. Plus the pockets are to die for. Pen? Got it. Notebook? Here you go. Above-mentioned instant thermometer? Always got it on me. Band-Aid? If I haven\u2019t run out already.<\/p>\n<h2>Lined Rubber Muck Boots<\/h2>\n<p>These coupled with the socks above are a double threat to those sub-zero temps when you\u2019re trudging through a sloppy pasture, crossing a creek to get to a down animal, or just heading to a muddy barn\u2014which happens even to the best of us sometimes.<\/p>\n<h2>Extra Power Cord for Smartphone<\/h2>\n<p>Tuck it in your glove compartment and forget about it until you need it.<\/p>\n<h2>Thermos<\/h2>\n<p>Hot tea, coffee, cocoa\u2014whatever your hot drink of choice, a Thermos is an indispensable piece of farm equipment on a cold winter day. With a good insulated container, you can have a comfy beverage at your fingertips all day long.<\/p>\n<h2>Extra Extension Cords<\/h2>\n<p>The concept of duplicity is important in this list. You may have one of everything, but having an extra on hand is really something to be thankful for. I can\u2019t tell you how many extension cords I\u2019ve left at other farms, but at least I know they\u2019re being used. Maybe it\u2019s the real gift that keeps on giving. It\u2019s the little things, right?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The holiday season is a time of gratitude, and our resident large-animal veterinarian has gathered a list of equipment she&#8217;s grateful for around the farm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":300,"featured_media":115081,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[424,426,10458,10455,402],"tags":[11817,11821,11816,11813,11815,11818,11819,11820,11814],"class_list":["post-114854","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-animals","category-equipment","category-farm-garden","category-large-animals","category-news","tag-coveralls","tag-extension-cords","tag-headlamp","tag-instant-thermometers","tag-knit-hat","tag-muck-boots","tag-power-cords","tag-thermos","tag-wool-socks"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.0 (Yoast SEO v24.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>A Large Animal Vet\u2019s List Of Thanks For Farm Equipment - Hobby Farms<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The holiday season is a time of gratitude, and our resident large-animal veterinarian has gathered a list of equipment she&#039;s grateful for around the farm.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hobbyfarms.com\/a-large-animal-vets-list-of-thanks-for-farm-equipment\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"A Large Animal Vet\u2019s List Of Thanks For Farm Equipment\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The holiday season is a time of gratitude, and our resident large-animal veterinarian has gathered a list of equipment she&#039;s grateful for around the farm.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.hobbyfarms.com\/a-large-animal-vets-list-of-thanks-for-farm-equipment\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Hobby Farms\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/hobbyfarms\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2023-12-04T12:00:42+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2023-12-04T18:15:13+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/img.hobbyfarms.com\/AdobeStock_397120454.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"800\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"462\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Anna O&#039;Brien\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@https:\/\/twitter.com\/annaobriendvm\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@hobbyfarms\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Anna O&#039;Brien\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"3 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.hobbyfarms.com\/a-large-animal-vets-list-of-thanks-for-farm-equipment\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.hobbyfarms.com\/a-large-animal-vets-list-of-thanks-for-farm-equipment\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Anna O'Brien\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.hobbyfarms.com\/#\/schema\/person\/dddbf3ca83c64c8b96b80bc6e0d153b0\"},\"headline\":\"A Large Animal Vet\u2019s List Of Thanks For Farm Equipment\",\"datePublished\":\"2023-12-04T12:00:42+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2023-12-04T18:15:13+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.hobbyfarms.com\/a-large-animal-vets-list-of-thanks-for-farm-equipment\/\"},\"wordCount\":634,\"commentCount\":0,\"publisher\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.hobbyfarms.com\/#organization\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.hobbyfarms.com\/a-large-animal-vets-list-of-thanks-for-farm-equipment\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\/\/img.hobbyfarms.com\/AdobeStock_397120454.jpg\",\"keywords\":[\"coveralls\",\"extension cords\",\"headlamp\",\"instant thermometers\",\"knit hat\",\"muck boots\",\"power cords\",\"thermos\",\"wool socks\"],\"articleSection\":[\"Animals\",\"Equipment\",\"Farm &amp;
