[QUOTE="Wisteria Farms, post: 650163, member: 6734"] CMF1...I can assure you, the "odd organization support" of the breed is not due to the cattle by any means...Once you accept that there are a couple people that don't get along (and just avoid them), then you'll find some really nice, "down to earth" people who will do anything for you to help you succeed. The Old Hands help the newbies and every get-together is like a family reunion... you come away feeling really good about what you're doing. You've taken a great step. The breed really deserves more people looking at them... What are your temps like down there right now? At Midland it was in the 50's during the day...so its not like taking him from blizzard conditions to the tropics. Does he have a place with some shade? A tree/loafing shed/etc.? I think he'll be just fine...of course his coat won't be AS heat reflective as the silver one's are but still...you'll see, he's not black and his pigment is dark but not black. My bull is the same color...here in Illinois it can get to 96-100 degrees in the summer and on those days he just lays under a tree...doesn't have any problem...he'll be fine... [/QUOTE]
