Thanks for the comments folks. And yes their is shade but mostly from trees people have planted and watered. Most of the natural shade here comes from trees growing on low land, or river bottom.
I found a baby picture of the above bull and thought you might find the comparison interesting.

In the top picture I thought he was black. The 2nd picture loaded and I decided maybe he wasn't black :roll:

Bottom picture...he sure looks red enough to me.

Good looking critters. Looks like a nice uniform calf crop.
 
I got my first Gert bull 300 miles North of me back in 1987. They have been in the province for decades. The only climate deterimental to the breed is negative bias from close minded ranchers. :)
They are slick as a horse all summer and hair up pretty much the same way a horse does for winter. The Brahma influence does give them a nice thick insulating hide and despite their fairly bald ears I have never had an animal lose ear to cold. People look at the brahma influence and forget that they are still 5/8ths Shorthorn, which was ( and still is?) a hardy breed on to its own. Its true ranching country up here. Nobody puts Cows in a barn to keep them warm. They use tree bluffs if they have any or a wind fence shelter, and bed down with straw when the snow piles up and the temperature drops. And drop it does with sometimes depressing speed.
Any other questions?

This is a typical 2 year old ( a 3/4 gert) and to the left of the pic is a partial veiw of the wind fence shelter.

I'll take you up on that offer of more questions, bward. What's your average annual rainfall? I hope you don't think I'm being nosy, I'm just intrigued by a climate that is so different than the one here in Ga.. Average annual rainfall here is around 50" and trees and weeds grow everywhere. Am I correct in assuming annual rainfall is the limiting factor on forestland in your area? BTW, you have some fine looking stock.
 
Combining average rainfall and including snowfall we get around 14 inches a year.... Its a fairly dry climate but this year we got a little more rain in the growing season and have some excellent crops. No I don't think you are being nosey at all. I went to Florida in January and just loved the humidity and the greenery. It can get dusty around here sometimes.
