Showing livestock is a wonderful opportunity for your kids to demonstrate the beauty and training of their animal in front of onlookers and the local community. With some help from Vittetoe, Inc. in Keota, IA, you’ll know exactly what equipment your child should bring to keep their animal as comfortable as possible. Their Show Stopper Equipment line specializes in livestock grooming supplies and equipment. Here’s a list of items your child needs before attending an event. 

What Equipment Is Needed When Showing Livestock?

1. Waterer

Having an ample supply of water will allow livestock to feel more comfortable and stay healthier in a strange, new environment. In the hot weather, it can also be a useful method for cooling the animal and keeping their energy levels stable. Show Stopper Equipment has a wide variety of waterer options available to keep your animals hydrated.

2. Livestock Fan

The more comfortable livestock are, the better of an impression they’ll make during the show. Show Stopper Equipment sells a variety of livestock fans, all with a high-velocity airstream that will quickly cool your animal in the summer heat. The Schaefer F5^™ fan, for example, has special steel guards to easily withstand the impacts of travel. 

3. Feeder

Correctly feeding the animals is important for keeping them healthy before they’re shown. You can find a variety of feed pans and hanging feeders available from Show Stopper Equipment. The hanging feeders are available in lightweight, tough plastic or stainless steel. Either one provides a convenient method of feeding pigs at fairs and shows. 

To take the best possible care of your animals, your kids should have the right accessories from a trusted provider of livestock equipment. Offering everything from waterers to feed systems, Vittetoe, Inc. will outfit you and your child with whatever you need for the next event showing livestock.
