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?
