[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1389886, member: 25884"] I can agree that temps in the 30's are rough with wet cold rain and such. And yeah, 80's and above is no picnic if it is very humid. I think that maybe the cattle in that area are also from animals that are conditioned to those conditions. Like evolution, they evolve to withstand those conditions. Brahman type cattle do alot better in the hotter temps, that's a fact. So maybe cattle raised there will be better off than some brought there from other climates. I was not personally attacking your situation. I have never been in an area where that is normal, and I was just thinking of how our cows react to weather conditions here. My cows would be hard pressed to survive that. Also it seems that cattle in those situations also are bigger and have more fat cover on them then the ones we have here. Dry is good, it is the wet that can chill their bodies so quick. [/QUOTE]
