[QUOTE="D.R. Cattle, post: 42702, member: 19"] Heat tolerance can definitely be overrated, but I don't think it is in the case of bulls. When the cows start cycling, better not have your bull laying on the couch drinking beer in the AC. Another point in the tolerance department, tropical climates have more difficulty with insects, standing water and a host of other oddities. Animals deemed heat tolerant usually resist these problems a lot better than others. But your point is well made and taken. I do have a couple hodge podge cows that hide from sunlight and pretty much look like they are melting most of the time. Heck of it is they maintain excellent body condition, throw fine calves and nurse them just as well as the others. [/QUOTE]
