Noticing all the black cows laying in shade all day today, Highs are barely in the mid 80's.
I know in extreme heat you need some Brahma in the blood but I wonder how much hide color places a part vs breed?
In milder climates with few days in the 100's would cow color be sufficient? Does Red, yellow and white all handle the heat about the same?
And curious how much breed type makes a difference. Example generally speaking would a red Simmental handle the heat as well as a red Angus?
