[QUOTE="andybob, post: 149070, member: 2703"] There has been research over the years that shows black cattle are more stressed by heat, lower fertility is cited as one of the main concernes. In our 110 F summers, even neighbours with improved pastures avoided black cattle of any breed, where Angus where used in crossbreeding or terminal crosses, Reds were used, with Sussex bulls preferred to cover after insemination,as they proved to be the most heat tolerant British breed. Our main breeds for adapted female lines on which we crossed, were Africana, Tuli ,Bonsmara and Brahman. Our performance scheme showed the Sanga breeds to perform the best,particularly on poorer grazing. [/QUOTE]
