Obon has already passed, and autumn is approaching soon.

The severe heat continues.

As with people, the animals on the ranch are having a hard time with the extreme heat so far.

The photo above shows the chicken house. The poultry house was originally equipped with a fan, but that alone would not reach only some of the chickens, and the hot air would get trapped, so we added a new fan. I think that the air has become more flowing than before, and the wind is blowing to most of the chickens, making the environment more comfortable.

Above is a picture of a red deer and below is a picture of a donkey.

Both are cooling off under the tree.

The red deer is a Scottish-born animal, and it is a creature that is not good at heat.

During the day when the sun is harsh, the shade of the trees is often used to beat the heat.

It's the sheep.

The sheep on the ranch are sheared from April to June, so they should be pretty comfortable, but...

After all, hot things are hot! ! !

They often stay in their huts during the day and often come out to pasture in the early morning or evening.

Seasonally, it will be autumn soon, so it feels like the air is getting clearer more and more.

Let's have a little patience and help both people and animals overcome this heat.
