[QUOTE="nap, post: 606052, member: 8447"] I assume this is tongue in cheek but I'll give you a serious answer anyway. The Brahman influenced cattle are more popular in the South because of their greater ability to cope with hot weather. The long ears, pronounced hump and loose skin all add to the surface area which allows the animal to dissipate heat more effectively. On a hot day in my part of the country most black cows are either lying in the shade or standing in a pond whereas the Brahman influenced cattle will be out grazing regardless of the heat. [/QUOTE]
