[QUOTE="dun, post: 652849, member: 34"] While any cattl;e may do well in an environment they aren;t adapted to, the certainly won;t thrive like ones that are adapted. The reason eared calves don;t sell well for winter feeding in the north is they don;t do as well as non-eared calves in cold weather. That alone should suggest that tropical breeds, i.e Brahman influence aren;t the optimum for colder climates. You could grow oranges in Alaska but it wouldn't be very profitable. [/QUOTE]
