Good reminders to keep our animals safe while celebrating July 4th!

With the just around the corner, now is a good time to make preparations to keep your horses, farm animals and pets safe during any fireworks that will be happening in your area. 🎆

The graphic below lists some tips to get you started. If your horses are staying out overnight, be sure to check your fencing ahead of time and neutralize any hazards like rocks, branches or holes that could lead to injury if the animals start bolting. If you are really worried about your horse's safety, consult your veterinarian about calming agents and sedatives.

No matter what your Independence Day plans are, above all please remember to practice safety and be considerate of the people and the animals living around you so EVERYONE may have an enjoyable celebration. Happy 4th!

Thank you to our Horse Owner Education Committee for providing this information.

As you know, many parts of our state have recently been affected by devastating tornadoes and severe weather. Our thoughts and prayers are with the individuals, families, and communities recovering from these events.

KCA is actively working with ag agents and local producers in the impacted counties to provide support where it’s needed most. We are asking for your help in spreading the word.

Here are a few ways to assist with ongoing relief efforts:

1. Ag Materials – Anyone wishing to donate agriculture related materials are asked to drop off donations at the Pulaski County Extension Office. The Pulaski County Cattlemen’s Association will be hosting a drive thru event on June 7th and are asking for materials to be dropped off before then. Materials needed include: All fencing materials, bagged feed for livestock, mineral feeders, working gloves, shovels, rakes.
