[QUOTE="dun, post: 813322, member: 34"] I find the whole red and black and heat tolerance deal kind of confusng. All of our ponds are fenced so the cows can;t reach them, if we water out of them it's from a remote water point fed by underground pipe from the pond. We have I think around 5 black cows/heifers the rest are red or red baldy/brockles. In the heat of the day they all shade up but while it's still hot and sunny they will all drift out of the shade and start grazing and graze till aorund dark or a little later. In the morning they're all are laying down and start getting up about when the sun comes up and they'll graze till mid morning then shade up. Our days dureing June-early august will be only in the 80s-90s with the occasiona week of over a 100. Nights typically get down to around 70-75 but during those blistering days it may not get below 90 at night. During thr 80-90 spell the humidity is high during that blistering spell the humidity will drop but it's still sweaty to go outside at night and just walk around. Oh yeah, no Brahman influence. A neighbor runs Gerts and I can predict what my cows will b doing by seeing what his are doing. Just some observations [/QUOTE]
