Keep Hogs Cool
On Trip To Market

Hog prices being what they are
a farmer can we'll afford a little
trouble and expense to make sure
the animals have a safe and com
Portable ride to market
The greatest danger in market
ing hogs in the summer time is over
heating points out George Vappa
county extension agent. 'If hogs
are hot when loaded and the truck
is not equipped for hauling in hot
weather there is chance that the
farmer will unload fewer hogs at
the packers than were loaded at
his farm"
Vapaa says the first step in sue
cessful hOt-weather marketing of
hogs is to give them a chance to
rest and cool off after they are
sorted. Hogs sometimes get quite
hot in the sorting process, so let
them cool off in the shade before
loading. If some Of the hogs are
exceptionally hot and painting, it
may be all right to splash a little
cool water in their faces.
But don't drench a hot hog with a
bucket Of cold water. The shock
might kill the hog.
Another step that must be taken
before hogs are loaded Is to get the
truck properly equipped. "Have
plenty of ventilation, and provide
some wet sand on the floor, he
suggests. THAT cool. wet sand feels
good on a hogs belly and he won't
want to get up and stir around"
A shade over the truck also keeps
hogs more comfortable and cuts
down on heat losses.
after the hogs are loaded, give
them a chance to settle down before
starting the trip" he adds. "And
stop occasionally on the road to
make sure everything's all right II
the hogs are restless, give them a
light sprlnkling if you can find rum
ming water. If there are a few hogs
that appear to be exceptionally hot
get bucket Of water and wet their
heads.
my own feeling is that / would
gladly carry a bucket of water for
a hog worth $50 or more" says the
) county agent.
