How do farmers make sure their animals don't get too hot ?
from Afternoons
A couple of months ago, one of you got in touch to ask about the welfare of animals on farms, and whether their wellbeing in heat, cold or rain was considered.

We called in a farmer to give us his perspective - joining us now from a dairy farm southwest of Te Awamutu, it's Pete Morgan.
