Where established composites are not docked, there is no reason to change, though a rancher with a large commercial herd over several properties added 25% Red Tuli to his herd 20+ years ago to improve some performance traits. Where "eared" cattle are docked, but summer heat can be a problem, Sanga breeds are an option to consider.
Says humidity was 18 to 38 percent. That's a far cry from high humidity.
Sounds like you have it all figured out. Now if you can just find enough people who can tell the color of the cow by the
What?
Cattle on a grain diet produce less internal heat than cattle on a forage diet.
Still hanging on to that black paint!
The whole CA program has been about selling bulls from the beginning... and no care for the consequences. Now we have black Herefords for Christ sake because black hides mean higher prices... although red hide cattle are routinely skinned and labeled "certified BA" as they are packaged. And the lack of genetic diversity infecting the entire industry as people "acquire" black genetics in traditionally not black cattle is biting producers with birth defects and inbreeding. Artificial insemination means black bulls are produced right along with black replacement heifers. I'm surprised we haven't seen black Charolais yet.
Whaaaaaat??? Please tell me where I can see something about that from an agricultural school source.
They have already made some black Charolais, I've yet to see one but they say their out there.
Never seen one in person but they're out there ,,seen a picture of a couple in Canada..
Brangus are heat tolerant,with the looser hide ,and ability to sweat more..though I don't think the could handle standing out in the open with a blow torch bearing down on them..
He gets that a lot
