Week 23 with longer days and warmer weather, it’s ideal for outdoor upkeep and tending to your animals. Now is a good time for maintaining fences, cleaning barns, and checking water supplies. Ensure animals have shade and protection from the sun. Clean their living areas regularly to prevent disease. Check for signs of parasites and provide appropriate treatments. Grooming horses and checking hooves is essential, and make sure goats have plenty of fresh forage and minerals to stay healthy.
