Our buff who hatched out eggs 5 chicks and she decide it was time to get off the meat. Unforantly the other eggs were already to cold so yeah.

The heat will kill a hog quicker than anything just about. They don't sweat, so the mudholes are essential in the heat.... sometimes it just isn't enough.... Did see one commercial farm once put like a lawn sprinkler on them where it would constantly go back and forth with water to help keep them cooler....
So sorry....

On another note i am expanding my garden I started working on that now that majority of my plants have started dieing yay for high heat not. Anyways i got the area cleaned out and started tilling it

I'm really sorry that you are losing pigs. Can you put up some kind of shade shelter? The liver damage you can do nothing about. I hope the rest of them are ok and have no liver damage.

That's the funny thing they all have shade and their mud holes are under shade as well. They all have a good size tree or two in their pen i could put up some tarps but it probably freak them out with the sound they make from the wind. The also all have a house that are also in the shade.

Got the house mostly clean. I need to finish dishes, fold laundry and put up school also need to vacuum my room and carpet clean it. Along with making dinner and feeding the animals. Still plenty of things to do. Granted i still need to clean cabinets the fridges, dust, Windows and walls and a organize things but from the living room to the kids room is clean along with both bathrooms Swept moped, vacuumed carpet cleaned. And we got school done woot. I took a picture who knows how long it will last. Lol oh and the kids are rough housing joshua playing dead lol,.

You do alot and fit in the kids and all inbetween.... Sometimes you need to "write down" all that you do to realize that it is alot to get accomplished. Household chores are never ending.... I hate housework.

 

[Jesusfreak101]

I second that oh and guess what happened while i was outside.
