[QUOTE="ChrisB, post: 564479, member: 122"] TR, Is it possible to put up a low volume sprinkler or something? They are pretty cheap and easy to set up. If you can get it up around 10' or so it can keep a lot of animals cool. Maybe clamp it to a 2x4 and nail that to a post or something. You just need the valve turned on a little bit to provide enough pressure to put out a nice mist. That is what I do when it gets really hot and humid and they start panting. You might want to be a little carefull about hosing them off, my uncle was hualing a pot load in really hot weather and made a stop an thought it would be a good idea to cool them down by spraying them with water. Several of them went into shock and died. Probably not very common, but you may want to keep it in the back of your mind. Personally I don't like changing feed rations any more than I have to. Good Luck [/QUOTE]
