[QUOTE="Beefy, post: 18418, member: 57"] I personally like Black Angus cows. although i dont really raise them (since most of our cows are beefmaster cross), we do have a few cows that are a large percentage black angus (at least 3/4) and these are some of my favorite cows. They breed back early each year and have great calves consistently. they are great mothers. The main reason we in the south use Angus so much (besides the black color selling better) is for fertility. with the drought AND/OR humidity and heat and insect and parasite problems in south georgia and florida you just about have to have some combo of brahman and angus or hereford to get a calf every year. Brangus seems to be the most popular cow in my area. Red Angus are ok too, i assume they have comparable fertility, but i prefer the black angus. as far as the heat tolerance issue goes the black cows stay fat all year and wean great calves so if they want to hang out in the shade or pond during the hot part of the day that sounds like a smart cow to me. they make up for it int he afternoon and morning.
