A cows temp can vary anywhere between about 101 to 102 degrees. Although a temp of or above 104 is a pretty good indication of a problem, according to what I've read the biggest concern is when the temp drops below the normal range as that's when you're in serious trouble.

Cattle worked in the heat of the day will run higher. Any color cattle. Make it a point to check for sick calves in the cooler morming hours of summer.
