[QUOTE="cmf1, post: 754101, member: 6681"] Boogie, That was one thing I looked at before I got an MG. It started with the bull that was raised in Idaho and tested in Montana. I felt like I was getting honest answers from some other breeders and went with him. The bull is about as close to black as he can be without being black. What they call a dark grey. Got him down here end of April last year as a 16 mo old. He lost a little weight coming off of test, but didn't suffer the heat too much more than the Brahman type cows. The MG cows were bought as heifers and they are almost white or what they call silver. They never missed a beat in the heat, and on the up side their winter coat made the cold this year nothing for them. (They do shed out nice.) All my paddocks have shade available but I didn't notice the Greys hanging out there any more than the others except for the bull maybe at the hottest times deep in the Summer. But when his weight evened out he didn't lose any more from the heat, and actually filled out a little growthwise. I haven't given any cow in those pictures a drop of feed other than good hay this winter since I took the the MG heifers out of quarantine in early June to put with the bull. On Bahaia and Bermuda mix grass and seasonal rye. The Greys eat some of the weeds the others don't much care for. So far I like it. [/QUOTE]
