[QUOTE="whitewing, post: 792486, member: 14975"] The summers are pretty brutal here, very little rain and lots of intense sunshine. I've had some older Charolais cows go down, all during the summer, but most probably due to a combination of old age and the heat. I bought animals that were originally born in Cuba and imported by a local rancher a number of years back. Those that have gone down during the summer all had brands from the Cuban owner so I'm not really sure of their age. My animals generally get very little grain though this year I had a good crop of grain sorghum so I'm supplementing their diets with that and some corn I've swapped for sorghum. We'll enter the dry season here in a month or two so this year I'm doing my best to take my animals into summer in the best condition possible. As for your original question, my bulls hold up really well......better than the cows it seems. [/QUOTE]
