[QUOTE="HDRider, post: 1164437, member: 17025"] I'd say you both know cattle. But not sure of a conclusion.. Consider... The actual chewing portion of a cow's day consumes eight hours and ruminating takes about 12 hours. Cows can take around 890 bites per minute, 8 hours a day for about 130 pounds of food if conditions are optimal. [url=http://forages.oregonstate.edu/nfgc/eo/onlineforagecurriculum/instructormaterials/availabletopics/grazing/livestock]http://forages.oregonstate.edu/nfgc/eo/ ... /livestock[/url] Considering that, I'd say if a cow is out eating in the heat of the day, she is more heat tolerant. That said, I don't know anything about cows. [/QUOTE]
