[QUOTE="Beefy, post: 357227, member: 57"] black absorbs heat. black cows and bulls tend to lounge in the shade and pond during the heat of the day and make it up by working the night shift. white cows tend to have pink skin and any pinked skin cow can get sunburnt easily. teats and noses tend to get sunburned the most. Bos indicus cattle tend to handle heat better b/c they originated in a hot climate. they have loose skin which dissipates heat better b/c there is more surface area and they have the ability to "sweat", unlike Bos taurus that pant like a dog or cat. Bos indicus cattle also have dark pigmented skin so they dont burn easily and are able to spend hours out in the sun. Lots of breeds have some Bos indicus blood in them and inherit some of these traits. generally speaking, red and gray cattle tend to be more reflective and absorb less heat. [/QUOTE]
