[QUOTE="torogmc81, post: 1102840, member: 21164"] I hear ya, being in the armpit of Midwest I'm of your same thought process, taking the words out of my mouth. Knowing they are raised and performing only a few hundred miles away from me says a lot. And cold and wind I can prep for, but when it comes to heat and humidity, there's only so much I can do. I firmly believe the heat is harder on them than the cold, i.e., two nights ago, we were at -4 (with no wind, but still damn cold), and my cows and steers were no where near any shelter, and were as calm as a cucumber, chewy cud out in the open. A lot of my cows are from their program, mainly the Royal Queen family they have there. I have bought three continuous maternal sisters from a local Angus friend that purchashed their dam at Sydgen. The oldest calved 2-4-13 like a pro, leading her bull calf to the lean to in freezing drizzle last year, and best steer now I have currently still here. The middle daughter is a tank and is due 2-14 and I can't wait to see her calf. Thanks for all the feedback, JSCUNN, much appreciated. DO you go to their sale every year? [/QUOTE]
