| During the hot summer days (anything over 76 degrees) these sprinklers run, cooling our cows by wetting their backs while they enjoy their meals. As the temperatures increase, the sprinklers run more often, and as the temperatures decrease they run less often. Add some fans, and we have an awesome, inexpensive way to keep cows cool all summer long! Happy June Dairy Month! |

Wordless Wednesday: Sprinklers!

I write this blog to share my passion for my cows and farming, please be respectful of that. I reserve the right to delete those comments which portray hate, call names, and are out right disrespectful. If you have an honest question, I will respond, to explain what we do on our farm, why we do it and how we do it. Please read with an open mind. My time to blog is short, as most of our days are spent caring for our beloved cows. Thank you!

That's a nice way of doing it! I studied on the cow's method of cooling once, and it isn't as easy for them to cool off as it is for us, for all I understand.
ReplyDeleteOur Angus calf had an awful time in the summer, because, naturally, she was black, but she was young and weak. Her temp would rise sometimes to 105 or higher... and she would become very inactive. She was sick too, so that made it worse. As she got bigger, and stronger, it didn't seem to bother her as much.
All the best!
Wow....that's nice. :) Jesus bless you!
ReplyDeleteCarra: Glad to hear your girl is doing better! Often, we spray our dry cows and heifers that our outside, especially those black ones!
