[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 414331, member: 6291"] I was up at a ranch in Waco, Tx talking to a man about some Black Angus heifers. He was telling me how they do just fine in the heat and stuff and that all that stuff you here about Angus not taking the heat is BS. We went out in his pastures around noon and all his cows were up in shade trees or if they had access to tanks they were under water just showing their heads. I asked him about it and his reply was that its the solid black color not the Angus. I smiled and went on my way feeling like he was trying to sell me something that I did not want. Our Black Brangus will graze all day down here. They might get in the trees around 3 or 4 in the evening... but only for a couple hours on hot days. Being sloid black will have a little effect but not that much like the Waco man was making out. Its good to have that Brahman in them down here. Brahman Beefmaster crosses have been good to us also... but the straight breeds don't take the heat as well and down here you dont' get docked for it. [/QUOTE]
