[QUOTE="TheBullLady, post: 43090, member: 173"] I've got Simmentals and Brahmans, and there is not doubt in my mind, but the Brahmans can tolerate the heat better than the Simmentals. But in the Simmental breed, there are individuals that are more heat tolerant than others.. and the lighter colored coats definately have an impact on that. I don't keep any black cattle that have heat tolerance problems, so I don't have many that will stand in the tank. (Which can cause foot problems) Brahmans will graze during the hot periods of the day, while the Simmentals will generally find a shade tree. The Brahmans look good all summer, while the Simmentals will get "drawn" if we have a lot of hot weather day after day. The Brahmans don't like cold / wet weather, but we have so few days in a row of that here it hasn't really been a problem. [/QUOTE]
