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.
