The largest dairy farm in the world is in the middle of Saudi Arabia. They use overhead misters for the cows to keep them cool.
During our really hot days, I've tortured my poor chickens by spraying them and the surrounding ground several times a day. They hate getting sprayed, but as soon as they've cooled off, they get comfortable and go back to eating and foraging.
How do others deal with the extreme temperatures?
