While most focus of the April 8, 2024 solar eclipse has been on humans and how we can watch the spectacular event, the effects of the eclipse will also be felt by animals.

June Farms in West Sand Lake has cattle, horses, chickens and pigs.

As the daily cycles of light and dark alternate with the seasons, the animals look upward for their cues on when to wake, when to eat, when to sleep, and when to reproduce, according to the Washington Post.
That means some of the animals can become disoriented when it gets dark in the middle of the day.
