Sweeter Heater, made in the USA and the safest way to supply heat to your livestock: https://www.sweeterheater.com

For those who don’t want to spend as much (or who can’t) on a Sweeter Heater, Premier 1 has introduced a safety switch on their heat lamps. It will cut the power if the lamp ends up at an unsafe angle. I have not used it, but I do like the fact that it has this safety feature and I think this would make it a better option than other heat lamps. https://www.premier1supplies.com/p/prima-heat-lamp
