[QUOTE="ALACOWMAN, post: 823785, member: 2047"] They do ok. I'm sure they'd prefer it to be a little cooler but there are a number of large operators that make them work. Graze at night and suffer during the day, but breed and raise nifty calves.[/quote] I really think you have to compare them with other breeds when they are mixed in to a herd. The few I have calve in the late fall and that is the schedule I want to keep them on. Ruark, The old cattleman vet tells me it aint so much our hundred degree plus days that get them in trouble, it is rather the over night lows being in the 80's or close to it.[/quote]............. thats because it takes em to about ten at night, to start to cool back down to normal body temps... sorta like turning off a car... it gets hotter right after you shut it off, then gradually cools back down [/QUOTE]
