Spent some time in big feedlot country back in the day. Gets pretty hot out there. Has there ever been any statistics on black cattle performance versus lighter hide colors? I know when I wear a black shirt in 100 degree sunshine I'm always wishing I'd have picked a different shirt that day.
Would a herd (or industry) with fewer black hides suffer less heat related death loss?
