“When responding Taylor spoke rapidly and forcefully without breaks or pauses, not allowing Speers to rudely interrupt as is his standard practice. He didn't provide much substance and most of his commentary was just Coalition Propaganda 101, but Taylor made sure that's all Speers was going to get from him.”
just goes to prove that Angus have a low tolerance for heat
————————————————
“Angus cattle have low heat tolerance compared to other breeds adapted to hot climates. Several studies have shown this:
Angus heifers had significantly higher rectal temperatures, respiration rates, and panting scores than heat-tolerant breeds like Brahman, Senepol, and Romosinuano when exposed to hot conditions.[1][2] On the hottest summer days, Angus cattle had rectal temperatures over 1°C higher than Brahman.[1]
A study measuring vaginal temperatures found that Angus and 3/4 Angus cows had vaginal temperatures around 39°C even under lower heat stress conditions, while Brahman cattle were able to maintain lower body temperatures.[5]
The black hair coat color of Angus cattle contributes to their poor heat tolerance, as they absorb more solar radiation compared to lighter colored breeds.[2][4] Their higher metabolic rate and lack of evolutionary adaptation to hot climates also make them more susceptible to heat stress.[3]
In summary, Angus cattle originating from temperate climates exhibit low heat tolerance characterized by higher body temperatures, respiration rates, and visible heat stress symptoms when exposed to hot conditions, compared to tropically adapted Bos indicus breeds like Brahman.[1][2][5]
