build them some solar panels for shade and to run the outdoor AC.
Not sure on this one. Southern Australia hasn’t seen massive increases in daytime temps, it’s been our overnight minimums that have increased dramatically. Which actually leads to less mortality from extreme cold. So this may mean lamb mortality equalises out? Local sheep farmers in South West Victoria have been seeing record numbers in recent years. Further north may be very different.
