[QUOTE="Tod Dague, post: 42765, member: 61"] I agree. I started out with Brangus and still have some. They defiantly handle heat better than my straight Red Angus but my Red Angus out performs the Brangus. Of course these are commercial Brangus and not high end registered Brangus. I have noticed that the shorter the hair coats the better tolerance for heat. I have paddocks that have almost no shade and the water comes in a trough so we can truly determine what cows can take the heat and who can't. I've also noted that the calves with their low body mass to surface area ratio aren't as bothered by the heat. [/QUOTE]
