[QUOTE="AussieLim, post: 904287, member: 17520"] I'd have to agree with Old Man Emu on the Welsh Blacks being used to changing climate due to their origin. Australia is currently shipping live cattle to Russia and Kazachstan. Although we don't have the same severe winters as you are talking our cattle are bred for our long, harsh, dry summer/autumns which makes them pretty durable cattle. I would also suggest looking to Canada for cattle as they too suffer harsh conditions (winter rather than Australian Summer) You also want cattle that have been commercially raised/fed and not pumped up, heavy feed cattle. From what you are saying there maybe an advantage in composite cattle, be that Angus X Lim or Brangus or Angus X Simmental. Not sure it would be worth the cost of shipping though. If you already have some cows maybe you can import embryos and implant them in the cow herd you already have??? [/QUOTE]
