Landing page captured for the 2026-08-25 issue.

Field notes

The homepage documents two pieces of pig-handling equipment: a $4,750 portable, winch-assisted lift that supports the body on a padded bar during hoof trimming, and a $60 tool used with a laryngoscope during swine intubation. Somnus identifies its founder as a 40-year Registered Veterinary Technician and names the lift for Juniper, a pig described as having been rescued after a Craigslist listing and fitted with a prosthetic.
