In Southern Africa the Sussex was considered the most heat tolerant of the British beef breeds, does anyone in the U.S.A. or Australia use Sussex in their breeding programme?

I tried contacting that address before and I didn't get a response. I was talking to an A.I. technician, though, and he told me he could get me semen if I wanted to A.I. a few cows. They are supposed to be a good, hardy breed and apparently they used to be popular back at the turn of the century (that would be around 1900, not 2000). I guess it would be interesting to know why people in North America went away from them.
