Hot Summer Reminder
Reminding all who have homesteads or pets that live outdoors that it is dangerously hot this August.
Be sure your animals have plenty of water and shade, and are not getting too stressed by the heat.
Kiddy pools and frozen water bottles are a handy tool for coops and hutches if you can’t move your animals.

Stay cool, and keep hydrated every one!
