#826: Managing Heat Stress with your Animals.

A Garden Chat with Judith Horvath.


In This Podcast:

We chat with Judith Horvath, a former business executive turned regenerative farmer, focuses on helping new farmers and creating a resilient local food supply chain. They chat about managing summertime heat stress in various farm animals such as sheep, goats, chickens, and turkeys.

Key practices mentioned include maintaining clean and cool water, using misting fans, providing loose salt and minerals, and using methods like cold watermelon to help animals stay hydrated and cool. The importance of observing animal behavior and routine for early detection of stress signs is emphasized. Additionally, Judith shares insights based on her experience and expertise in regenerative farming and offers resources for managing internal parasites in farm animals.

Our Guest:

Judith Horvath has journeyed from a white-collar business executive to hair sheep and dairy goat farmer. When COVID and global events laid bare the fragility of our food supply chain, Judith found a way to leave corporate life to concentrate solely on farming. Today she’s helping launch a new generation of small farmers with the goal of establishing a resilient local food supply chain based on regenerative agriculture methods, rotationally grazed grass fed meats, and nutrient dense produce. She’s on a mission to help people get started farming and be immediately successful.
