It is hot on the farm!!

This weather is not good for the pregnant pigs. We are expecting 4 litters in the next couple of weeks and the sows are really feeling the heat. We are trying out best to keep the pigs as cool as possible. We are using fans and water to try and keep the pigs cool. Our two berkshires are really getting with the program. They will soak in the mud wallow then stand under the fan. The Mulefoot sows spend most of the day in a drainage ditch by the pond, the coolest place on the farm. I am not too worried about he Mulefoots. They were bred to deal with outdoor raising in very hot and humid climates,but, the Berkshires were bred to live indoors and produce piglets, it shows in the way they seem to stand up to the heat.
