[QUOTE="Tod Dague, post: 414717, member: 61"] I did my own un-scientific scientific research a few years back and counted respirations mid-day in the heat of the summer on my small herd. The cows with the lower number of respirations were the slick haired cattle which also happened to be the lighter colored animals. I think that color is a factor but coat type plays a bigger role for bos taurus. IMO Brahma and Brahma crosses on the maternal side work best when heat tolerance and performance is the goal. [/QUOTE]
