[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1184657, member: 9096"] As for heat, I have red cows, most are a fair size, I'd say 1400 lb average, with a few 1800's... I've had shorthorns, and have a couple white ones left.. the white ones don't handle heat any better than the reds. May through August here is usually in the 90's, touching the mid 100's once in a while, my cattle rarely have access to shade, though they always have fresh water close by.. I can say I haven't had any trouble with it, except one first timer that may have had heat stroke, and I think it was the old cows hogging the water trough, though I can't be certain of anything about what was wrong with her.
