[QUOTE="novatech, post: 652355, member: 5494"] Yep they can make it just fine. Trouble is they are not efficient at doing it. They must consume to much feed/grass/hay to fight off the cold. They require more energy. Most everything about the Brahman is designed to give off heat. Probably the least efficient breed for cold climate. This is one of the reasons feeder prices drop in the fall on eared cattle. Choose a breed for your environment. Your winter feed bill will reflect the decision. [/QUOTE]
