[QUOTE="jilleroo, post: 934359, member: 8192"] We run a charolais herd in extreme conditions in outback Australia and have no heat-related issues with our cattle. Charolais tolerate the heat very well, even with humidity. Angus handle these conditions very poorly. We joined about 300 heifers a year to senepol bulls for several years and have found an eager market for their progeny. The bulls are certainly keen workers but fight mightily also - one pure senepol fellow snapped a front leg fighting but still soldiered on getting calves! His leg has healed crooked but it hasnt slowed him down at all. Some of you would be aware that the Australian Agricultural Company has a couple of composite "breeds" incorporating senepol and use these extensively on their northern country. We bought a 100 first-calvers from them last year, calving to char x senepol bulls, and are very happy with these hardy females and the calves they produced. I might add they weaned 98 calves and not one had been assisted. We have also bred some handy little bulls by senepol out of pure red brahmans females for our own use and these will be ready to work this next joining also. Nothing wrong with senepols! [/QUOTE]
