[Jacob-list] Heat related deaths?

[Carl Fosbrink]

Did he have shade available? My Jacobs have been laying in the shade during the hottest part of the day  coming out to graze in the early mornings and late evening. I have had no deaths. We did put  gallon milk jugs filled with water and frozen in the water tanks on those 100 degree days so the water would not get hot. Sorry for your loss.

Has anyone had any heat related deaths. I found my ram dead in the pasture on Friday and i have no idea why..... he was fne in the morning, UTD on all his vaccines and had a FAMCHA check recently.... (nice and pink). He was shorn in late may, had access to plenty of water, (both natural stream and stock tank). I had been noticing on the severly hot days he was a bit distresses but everyone's been distressed with all this 100 + degree weather. 

He was a really nice ram :-(   ...................
