[QUOTE="cow pollinater, post: 1226809, member: 14661"] As Dun said it's the night-time temps that make the difference. If a cow can cool off at night she can make it through the day's heat stress even in the triple digits. I always laugh at my customers. They start acting like their cows are all heat stressed the first time that it hits one hundred but it's still nice and cool at night and then when the nights are in the high eighties in July and august they can't figure out why their cows are suffering as by then they think the cows should be used to it or something. Production plays a huge role as well. Lower and slower metabolisms breed up just fine during hot weather but cattle on hot feed cranking out milk can't handle heat stress. [/QUOTE]
