Overton FFA Member Uses Therapy Technology to Improve Livestock Health and Performance    
Sunday, June 1, 2025 | Author: Texas FFA News
 

For Vance Aaron, an Overton FFA member, an interest in animal health has grown into a thriving business. As the owner of AFL Livestock Solutions, the high school student uses Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) therapy to reduce pain and inflammation in show animals. 

“I started in 2020 by assisting my dad with treatments and studying training materials,” Aaron said. “Over the years, I’ve treated over 595 animals and grown a client list of more than 100.”

The business uses a specialized machine called the Julian Duo. To become a certified technician, he completed online coursework through the MagnaWave company. The technology delivers targeted pulses that stimulate muscles and improve circulation, allowing animals to recover from stress or injury.

“I begin each session with a full-body treatment using the XL wave wings or large loop,” Aaron said. “Then I focus on specific problem areas, like swollen hocks, lymph nodes, or sore pads. It’s amazing to watch the muscles twitch and loosen as the PEMF effect kicks in.”



While he treats a variety of species, swine have remained a core focus. In addition, he has remained competitive through continued education, trial treatments on their own livestock, and carefully documented results.

“I’ve treated animals that went on to win major breed or division championships and place in county sales,” Aaron said. “Each success is proof that these treatments work, and that my business is making a difference.”

Aaron’s successful project was also recognized as the Star Lone Star in Agribusiness at the 2024 Texas FFA State Convention.
