While traveling back and forth moving hay this week (by far the warmest week of the year) I couldn't help but observe the cattle between the field and the barn.
1-The black cattle stayed in the shade from approx. 11:00 AM until 4:00 PM. All three black herds I watched moved to graze at about the same time each day.
2-The 4 white herds stayed in the sun all day and even layed down in the sun as if they were enjoying it.
3-Surprisingly the one herd of Brahman cross cattle I was watching stood in and around a pond just about all of the daylight hours.
When it gets up around 100 degrees and 95-100% humidity will be the real test.
