[QUOTE="J-CCCC, post: 147195, member: 1540"] May be there is no significant difference between red and black heat tolerance since no studies have been referenced by this august group. Seems to fit into the category, "If it don't itch don't research it.". Personally I'll go with the black shirt vs white shirt theory: but then I'll also agree with the you get aclimitized ( if thats a word) to what you are forced to tolerate crowd. It don't make no nevermind, my mixed breed ol' gals just keep giving me calfs to sell and they bring about as good a price at the sale barn as those "quality" reds and blacks. Lots of them are something akin to grey/red since their poppa is charolaise. I'm thinking that given good grazing, adequate minerals, good shade and plenty of water there is little difference in the end result other than exceptional breeding and great marketing (such as angus breeders have going and others who are capatilizing on the "Natural" or "Organic" crase. Does anyone deliver their registered reds or blacks to the sale barn? Not unless its a "Special Sale" I bet. Two cents or less! Jay [/QUOTE]
