Summer hasn't officially arrived but the humidity is terrible. I hate it for the sheep and goats more than me. Most of them have 2-3 inches of wool and are panting under the shade trees. I have fans going in all the barns but during the day it is cooler under the trees. I think that is Sunshine's problem, the heat is draining her. At night she grazes, but in the daytime she keeps her head low to the ground. Blue faced leicesters have a hard time with humidity. Cormos seems to take it better. One of the biggest factors of breeding sheep and goats in the south is finding a breed that take can the humidity and has some resistance to stomach worms. |
