Flock care

Heat Management

Summer comfort begins before temperatures spike. Shade, water, airflow, and fleece management all help a small flock handle heat.

Shear on schedule

A timely shearing plan helps sheep shed the insulation they no longer need in warm weather.

Keep water easy to reach

Fresh, clean water and shade should be available throughout the day.

Watch the flock

Learn the signs of heat stress and contact a veterinarian if a sheep appears distressed.
