Sunburned piggies

Downhill and water skiers will both tell you the importance of sunscreen.  We all know how important protection against the July sun is, but we always forget about the winter sun.

Our pigs have very sensitive skin when it comes to the sun, too.  This is another reason that living in a sheltered, temperature controlled environment is so beneficial to our animals.  Pigs can get very red, painful looking sunburns, even in the winter.  So, we keep them comfortable by protecting them from the sun.
