Good morning wonderful DFW folks!! As you can see in this weeks forecast, hell is trying to poke its ugly head in around here! If you have an outdoor pig scheduled for this week 21-23 July, PLEASE make preparations now! Shade, fans, moving them into a cooled space, swamp coolers, something! I will not be working on any pigs that cannot be easily and quickly caught(lower stress by no chasing) pigs not in shade(a portable canopy would be amazing if you have one!) or in an area with stagnant air(I have a portable fan but it alone can only do so much). Please refrain from spraying your pigs off at all until after their trim. When I arrive, if I see any signs of heat stress(usually panting is a big one) I will have to refuse services until another time to keep your pigs safe. Let’s work together and keep your pig friends safe!!!
HOUSTON! Please also watch the weather. I know it can be vastly different from up here, but same information applies as I know I am coming down next week! Outdoor pigs MUST be kept cool without being sprayed with water! I don’t want to reschedule anyone but for the safety of the animals, I will if needed.
If your pigs live primarily outside, I will continue to push that everyone makes a more permanent area dedicated to trim appointments. One that is weather resistant so that we don’t have to have cancellations and reschedules due to the weather(rain, heat, etc) Trims happen frequent enough on most outdoor pigs that a permanent area should be warranted. Not only for weather but for safety as well. Some less permit structures can pose risks of injury since pigs are smarter than their own good and will try to escape things when I arrive 😂 my goal is to only have cancellations of weather for road conditions. Not because the pig is standing in rain, mud, snow or because it’s hot as Hades outside 😊
Thank you everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! 😊
