The Up and Over style gate is a uniquely designed gate that flips upwards to completely get out of the way of livestock. This prevents animals from injuring themselves and hitting off a swinging gate. This gate is invaluable in tight spaces where you have no room for hanging a gate. The up and over gate is the perfect solution to this problem. #dairyfarmers #dairyfarming #farmbuilding #irishfarming #farminguk

The life of mother pigs on factory farms is truly horrible. Confined to gestation crates too small to turn around in, pregnant pigs can develop multiple health problems including infections from being left in their own filth. In addition to this physical suffering, these intelligent animals endure psychological torment from their extreme caging. We've made great strides working to eliminate the use of extreme confinement methods like gestation crates, most notably through the passage of California's Proposition 12, our nation's strongest farm animal welfare law—which prohibits the in-state production or sale of pork from cruelly confined animals. But all of that is at risk thanks to a segment of the pork industry and their allies in Congress who are set on using this year's Farm Bill to nullify Prop 12 and other state level animal welfare laws. And to make matters worse, they appear to have an ally in U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack. We expect this from the segment of the pork industry committed to bottom-scraping practices of industrial-scale cruelty, but not from a member of this administration who should be listening to the will of the people. Millions of voters and consumers have rejected the cruelty of intensive animal confinement at both the ballot box and the supermarket, and Secretary Vilsack should be following their lead. We need your help to urge Secretary Vilsack to respect the wishes of American voters and consumers and end his support for nullification of democratically approved farm animal welfare protection laws in our states.  TAKE ACTION Please send a message to Secretary of Agriculture Vilsack urging him to oppose any efforts to use the Farm Bill to nullify important state animal welfare laws like Prop 12.

Tilt the animal's head and hold the ear facing up. Instill Essential Oto into the duct to fill it and massage the base of the ear for a few seconds to remove the dirt. The animal will shake its head to remove excess product that has remained in the duct. Then clean the pavilion with a cotton pad or compress. Repeat if necessary, when the ear is very dirty. Remember to disinfect the nozzle after each use. It is recommended to use it 1-2 times a week depending on the degree of dirt in the ear canal.
