[QUOTE="HDRider, post: 1026190, member: 17025"] Don't get me wrong guys. I was not stating anything as fact. Hell, I don't know beans about cattle. Just trying to learn. I guess the one fact that I can state is that a lot of folks here and other places speak of a downgrade on Brahman influences. I just wanted to understand why. Now I will really through a monkey wrench in the works. I understand full well why Black is Jack. CAB and all... That said, black cattle seem to be a bad idea in the South. Them blacks just gotta be hotter than whites and pale skins. Founds this, and even considering what it says so many like Blacks, just following the money, and I guess you gotta do what works.... [i]"..especially during July and August, for evidence of heat stress. Special attention should be paid to cattle with increased risk of heat stress including heavy cattle, black cattle and respiratory compromised animals. Heavy cattle cannot handle heat stress compared to lighter weight cattle. Increased fat deposition prevents cattle from regulating their heat effectively. Solar radiation is a critical component that can lead to death loss from heat stress. Typically, proportionality more black hided cattle die during heat waves then other hide colors. Since cattle rely on respiration as a method to manage heat respiratory function is important. Cattle that had severe respiratory disease early in the feeding period will have decreased ability to regulate their heat load."[/i] [url=http://vetmed.iastate.edu/vdpam/extension/beef/current-events/heat-stress-beef-cattle]http://vetmed.iastate.edu/vdpam/extensi ... eef-cattle[/url] [/QUOTE]
