[QUOTE="jhambley, post: 855090, member: 1535"] I think the Brookview X Hodge crosses are built "stockier" with heavier bone. The straight Hathcock cattle are more refined with lighter bone and more growth. Since both of these bloodlines have been linebred, the Brookview X Hodge crosses could be benefitting from a bit of hybrid vigor as well. As far as the summer heat, it's been brutal. Nothing like those guys in Texas and Oklahoma are seeing but extreme for us. I've put off clipping the pastures because everything is so dry. I have three more paddocks to graze and then I'll be rotating them into what are normally pens used to stockpile fescue for Winter. I did buy in a few more bales of hay this year just to be certain I had enough. The cattle have been subjected to extreme heat and cold the past few years. I'd sure like to see a nice cool, wet fall.
