Ministers in the shade with fans is how we cool the cows. Goats love it too.

Wading pool works for potbelly pig, chickens and turkeys. Yes, even the birds will take a dip if hot enough. They all also love fans and mister.

As we age heat gets to us quicker! Everyone know signs of heat stress and take precautions! What I breezed through at 40 will literally stop me dead at 60.
Dh and I were just talking about how we used to get up and bring in two truck loads of wood before hay dry enough to rake. Then rake, bale, put in barn 3 or 4 wagon loads of hay AND normal milking, daily chores... Them days done gone!
Be really careful if on any medications for blood pressure especially. Slow but steady gets it done.

She was trying to learn chicken math. :lol:

I believe that they are genetically modified into that -- coming equipped. :D

Yes to both, Donna. BUT we keep on getting on....that's a key factor. :old Keeps us young, slower but young. There are days when I wonder who that is looking back at me in the mirror! Most days I do not feel as old as I am, or look :idunno

Well. Rose is back in the goat pasture until we get hers fixed. The Hubbs is going to hot the top and middle so we can let the goats in with her. This way she has company. We are getting a new nanny timorrow/this evening! Hopefully her experience will straighten our Billy out! He is such a bully. We need to get another Billy so he has someone to play and butt heads with I guess....? The Hubbs came up with an idea that I've been toying with.... a bunny "playground" or colony for at least the girls.... something they can play and run around in and be happy..... a happy critter is a productive critter.... long long day.... I'll put some coffee (and tea for the dear Pastor ) on in the am...

Thanks for the muffins and cookies! Yum! Already had coffee, going to get dressed and get the morning chores done before my friend gets here for her pickle making session. I’ll post the recipe later with full instructions. My relax time is over, gotta get to work. Y’all have a great day!
