Barrow is panting

Post by brooklyn_p12 » Fri Jul 19, 2019 11:40 pm

The barrow that I am taking to county fair panted really bad when I worked him tonight as well as two nights ago. He has never done this other than these two times. Today (the second time he has done this) was about 100 degrees during the day and 85 degrees when I worked him at 9 o’clock. He stayed in the barn all day where it was about 85 degrees. I have tried to cool him off with water before I work him but it only helps for a couple minutes. He isn’t stressing and our county fair is in 5 days. Is there anything I can do?

He is a 280 lbs crossbred barrow.
