Hard for farmers

[Dagwood34]

Last year was a struggle for us farmers with the extreme heat affecting livestock and kept us in strong demand for water supply. It made it difficult as the day wore on, it would make the animals erratic and sometimes sick. 2 our animals died last year and we can't get them back. Through the farmers almanac they are calling for more rain this year which is good. The heat is going to be worse they say.

i hope we dont go thru another summer with a drought and extremely hot temperatures. i dont' think i could take 2 years in a row like that.

I was told today by a couple that raises cattle for show that if you keep cattle cool, extremely cool that their hair will grow much fuller, thicker.

This provides the best coat for show.


Temperature relief is important for all animals however. It's something people tend to forget many times.

Do the misting fans allow you to "set a timer"? I'd like to keep the animals cool during the hot hours of the day and then turn off by sunset.
