Carol, I remember reading in a veterinary manual, That the "heat envelope" that develops UNDER sheep needs to be eliminated! This is done by moving air at ground level. If your shed has a peaked roof- exhausting air at the peak, and encouraging air to enter at the ground level maintains cooler temps.I know a horse breeder who has commercial sized standing fans set at their highest reach, to help push air out of the barn- She sets a couple box fans on the opposite end, door drawn down on top of them, to draw in air from the shady side of the building. Commercial fans can be found around here , used, for little money- and can handle the dust associated with animal keeping a bit better than household type fans.
