It’s not very often our trailer gets to look like this as we don’t generally use shavings… but super thankful to have been able to transport the cutest little Gypsy cross pony mare down to Tulsa, Oklahoma this weekend! She is off to her new home in Florida! While livestock transportation is no longer part of the business model, it’s nice to be able to help out when possible. It’s a blessing when DASL gets to work hand in hand with timing rodeos. ☀️

Join us for FFA day at the Morgan County Fair this Wednesday!
There will be activities all day for all ages, the steak fry, and a concert!
We hope to see you all there!

What’s for breakfast?

No better way to kick off the morning than beautiful weather while choring. ☀️ Can you believe it’s almost August? 😱 July always flies right by!

17/07/2024

Summer is truly such a blessing! July is always filled with chaos and crazy schedules, but we wouldn’t want it any other way. It fills my heart to meet and serve so many wonderful families in our community. Thank you for choosing and trusting De Tar Animal Services & Livestock, LLC. to provide services to your furry family members. ❤️ Reach out today to get on the schedule!

Oh, what a heartbreaking post. We may not be running around with a Hart Trailer anymore (for the moment), but I’m still partial to their trailers and the company. It’s so hard to find good companies who genuinely care about their customers, and that’s the company environment that Hart has. What a beautiful legacy. Sending prayers to his family and those around him ❤️

Evey now and then, someone comes along who shakes things up and changes everything. Anthony Hart was one of them. It is with a heavy heart that we share with you that at 2 am this morning, our founder, Anthony Carlton Hart went to be with his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Anthony Hart has been a cornerstone in the horse trailer industry for more than 56 years. His dedication to craftmanship, perfection, and integrity remains evident in every Hart trailer that comes off the line. Anthony and his wife Kay started Hart Trailer in 1968. Together they dreamed, designed, and built a trailer that would become known for its quality, safety, durability and design. Their dream lives on today along with the reputation and legacy they paved along the way. Anthony and Kay raised three girls together, Robin, Tammy, and Tracy and just celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary on June 5th. Anthony was well known and loved by many. His absence will be felt heavily for those of us here and for his family and friends. Those of us at Hart today, are so thankful for the vision, and perseverance that he and Kay paid for with blood, sweat, and tears all of those decades ago. We will miss you Anthony!

Weeping may tarry for the night, but joy comes in the morning.
Psalm 30:5 ESV

Happy 1st Offical Day off Summer! ☀️ What a great June it has been so far. Looking forward to the rest of this summer! Had the opportunity to care for these sweet guys while their family enjoyed a beautiful trip to a tropical paradise a few weeks ago. 🌺🐠

This summer’s schedule is filling up - make sure to take advantage and get your trips/ dates/ needs on the calendar as soon as possible. Horses, dogs, cats, cows, pigs, goats, sheep, small animals, etc… you name it, we’ve got the experience!

There’s just something about those bay horses... ✨
We are firm believers that the Western Indusrtry is all about “who you know”. We are so grateful to have some wonderful people with awesome horse connections in our corner - leading to the first fun announcement!

At the beginning of April, we said ‘see you later’ to APHA registered Tee Bar Feature “Whiskey”. After casually listing him for sale, a sweet family from Saratoga, Wyoming picked him up to enjoy his days as a true rope horse! If you sell a horse, the next best thing you have to do is buy another horse, right? 😂

Welcome to the family, AQHA registered 6 year old gelding, Little Boston Snake “Lil’ Boston”! Kolten’s looking forward to getting him finished over the summer and productively using his “paternity leave”.

17/04/2024

LOTS of BIG and EXCITING changes are happening in our part of the plains. Rebranding, new additions, and new offerings coming soon! Make sure to stay tuned for all of the announcements!

Summer 2024 is going to be a great one, and we are so grateful to have you along for the ride with us. It is crazy to think that De Tar Animal Services & Livestock, LLC. is 10 years old this year flourishing from Erin's National FFA Organization SAE back in 2014. ☀️

How did you fare this weekend’s crazy storms!? I’ll tell you one thing, God sure has a plan and watches over us. We made the hard decision to let Tee Bar Feature “Whiskey” go to a new home this weekend. As bittersweet as it is, it is truly the best opportunity for him. Living his life out in Saratoga, Wyoming getting to rope almost everyday of the week - he will thrive and we can’t wait to hear about his progression!
We had a tree be uprooted during the crazy winds, landing flat on top of our group pen fence line, that usually Kolten’s fire breathing dragon, Mighty, is in. He had moved her over the night before into where Whiskey had been, thankfully! Trying to find her roaming free is not a chore I’d like on the agenda 😆. Anyone need some tumbleweeds? We’ll send them your way!

While maternity leave is on the horizon and inching closer, that also means SUMMER is near! Get on the schedule today for your summer needs as the calendar is already filling up! ☀️

Who else agrees? What a fun (but chilly) week we had last week! Cody and Thor’s mom hit the road for warmer weather over Spring Break and I had the pleasure of hanging out with these guys all week long. Nothing is more Golden Retriever than playing fetch for forever. 🎾

Spring (and summer) books are filling up so make sure you get your fury family members on the schedule! 💐

🚨Just a reminder: We will be closing the books for a few weeks in late April/ early May, as Erin is due with Baby K. 🐾

Springtime is here! Here’s some good information to keep in your back pocket.

It’s an exciting day here for De Tar Animal Services & Livestock! Our scrapie tags came in! As our first year raising goats, all bucks over the age of 2 are required to have Brucella Ovis testing completed, and all goats need a scrapie tag! The weather is finally cooperating and these babies will be going into our herd’s ears soon. 📋

Why do we do this? Think of this disease similar to Mad Cow Disease. Not good! Scrapie is a (now eliminated in the USA) fatal neurodegenerative disorders found in sheep and goats. USDA APHIS provides free tags for first time producers partaking in the sheep/ goat identification program.

In an unexpected turn of events, we’ve added to the family! 🤍 Whiskey will be our backup rope horse, which gives me time to get him started on barrels and whatever else we come up with. Excited to see what all Way Mytee Dinah ‘Mighty’ brings! Big thank you to the Weil Family for the opportunity to own this mare. Next stop: back to roping… 💥

17/12/2022

How Camper feels about going roping while it’s 4° out…. Oh silly girl 😂. Excited to be heading over to Eaton this morning (even if I did pack my bibbers and heavy coat 🥶). Grateful for a God who makes opportunities like having such a great roping community happen.

12/12/2022

All smiles playing with Miss Luna! Turn to the last photo to see how we feel about that coming blizzard though 😂😬. Contact us for all of your farm, ranch, & pet care needs!

First jackpot roping EVER for and Whiskey as a team. Mistakes were made. Steers were caught. Fun was had… but guess what? They took home the Fast Time of the open, came back second high call, AND ended up winning first out of 50 teams.
Whiskey will never be able to replace Lulu, but to say I’m excited to see what these guys do is an understatement. Kolten’s started Whiskey from a horse that wanted to half blow up and spook at anything, to a horse with SO much potential for down the road. ❤️

Hey Alexa… play “My Favorite Things” ✨. What a fun weekend it was last week watching Miles, Sawyer, Phoebe, chickens, + cats while their owners were in Las Vegas for the ! ❤️

December still has some openings if you’re wanting to get out of town or need daily animal services! ✨

03/12/2022

It is always an adventure! ❤️ Grateful for opportunities like this to bring a special gal to her new family. I mean, how cute?!

We welcomed home this beauty tonight. A big thank you to Brandon Farms LLC for allowing us to add Star to our herd and being great to work with! Another big thank you to Erin De Tar for getting her from Colorado to Iowa- safe and sound! We are so happy to have her and anxious to see what she brings us come calving season this spring.

Excited to see how well Whiskey performs in the arena now that his teeth are all floated!

Did you know: equine teeth grow an average of an eighth of an inch per year! 🦷

04/11/2022

Work hard. Play hard. Sleep hard.

We spent much of yesterday cozied up and hoping for snow! Our friends towards the Front Range got inches, while we got…. Nothing! Might have to take a trip to find some of the white stuff to play in. But nonetheless, a great day was had!

03/11/2022

What a fun day it has been with our new friend, Luna! We ran some errands, ran around to burn off energy + are having so much fun!

Her owners were split on the choice to take a vacation because they didn’t want to leave her in a boarding facility (Hint, hint… that’s why De Tar Animal Services was started in 2014). Personalized pet services so you don’t have to worry. Luna is part of our family for the week + loving it!

Who else loves barn/ farm cats?! They always have the biggest personalities. One of the newest additions to the family ❤️.

Can’t wait for these guys to help control the nice population at the house.

29/10/2021

I love when personal and business trips can combine! ☀️

Had the sweet, sweet opportunity to transport Miss Houston to her new home outside of Lincoln, Nebraska last week! She is going to have the cutest little girl taking care of her and will be one spoiled pony.

Thank you for trusting De Tar Animal Services & Livestock to bring your new loved one home! ❤️

How we feel about it FINALLY being fall weather in Northern Colorado! Gunner is always SO excited for our walks that he doesn’t want to put his bone down and his whole Great Dane body shakes with excitement!

Have things started cooling down your way yet?

🚨 Exciting things are happening around here! 🚨⁣
⁣
It is crazy to think that all of this started as my Supervised Agricultural Experience for St Vrain Valley Ffa back in 2014 (go to Facebook to see more). Since then, it’s helped me get through 2 different states & colleges, and provide supplemental income to my current full-time job. 🌱🐮🐴🐾 ⁣
⁣
Starting late May 2021, De Tar Animal Services & Livestock, LCC will be expanding and offering high quality equine and livestock transportation! Routes include the following states: Colorado, Nebraska, Wyoming, Iowa, Illinois, Oklahoma, and Kansas. Fully insured and licensed! 💥 ⁣
⁣
Our name is not changing and we are still offering everything that we have been, but this sector of the business will be doing business as Rural American Shipping. Those who know me know that I am all for supporting and fighting for Rural American communities. I am so excited to combine my love for being on the road with helping out the livestock and equine community. Feel free to message with any questions , if you need small scale livestock/ animal care, or to set up a future transportation date! 🗓🤗⁣
⁣
Thank you to all who’ve allowed me to work with or care for your animals and livestock throughout the years. I look forward to crossing paths again and making new connections. ♥️

10/05/2021

🚨EXCITING NEWS 🚨 coming May 12, 2021 at 3pm MST! If you have horses or livestock, this is going to be something you’ll want to look for! 🤗

02/03/2021

It had been exactly one year since the last time I was able to work with Buck & Archie (and the goats) while their owner was out of town. This past year has definitely impacted small businesses around the world, and I’m grateful to finally be starting back up again. Weekends are filling up, but I still have openings! Take a much needed vacation out of town with your family and have a sense of comfort that you animals are in great hands!
Bring on the sunshine and warm weather! ☀️
