[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 674679, member: 3162"] Kernsie I know of no one having problems with herfs here. LH's or any breed with bos indicus do fine. My nurse cow is dairy and she can get overheated with high protein feed. The only people I know of here who had problems were the young couple I mentioned. They were feeding too hot of feed and running a cold climate breed (angus) with calves nursing the cows down. I suggested they calve them in the fall. This heat wave is affected other parts of the U.S. right now. The link I posted was to a climate more moderate than Texas. I suspect it is high protein feed playing a part of it and the cows are not acclimated. There were people on this very forum advising a lady last year to feed a calf a high protein diet. They are not from this part of the U.S. What they were prescribing would kill that animal. When I explained it they got adamant about it. These last few weeks we have seen highs as much as 107 degrees and lows in the 80's at night. This is typical for this time of year and no records are being broken here in Texas. Go to that link I provided and read. 1000 dead cattle hit someone right in the pocket book. Terrible. [/QUOTE]
