Maybe you could get them one of those banana leaf fans and a little mister 
<g>  They'd have their very own little piggy hut <<bg>>

lol - maybe I should build them a 
"mud-igloo-cement-tir-covered-pond"........... 1/2 underground with tire 
sides .... and tire bottoms filled w/cement covered with lots of dirt.....

course I'd have to build that when parents aren't looking............ LOL 
HAHAHA

Yes, lots of shade, maybe a cement house (they are cooler).  Of course, with
water being a problem (yes? no?), then you wouldn't want to do what some
folks do which is use a misting system.  They will dig a big pit to lay in 
(deep
dirt is cooler).

good to know about manure tea pathogens.... compost first it is.

acorns,,,,, ahaaaaa,,,,,, that explains why the neighbor's pig in FL used
to escape his home and come to our home,,,,, we had tons and tons of acorns 
on
that property, as well as almonds... and here i thought it was just coming 
over
to roll in the horse manure

it is possible to keep adults thru the summer heat if there is a shady area?
and just raise the piglets for food?
