What beef cattle breed does best in hot humid climates?
Brahman and Brahman-influenced breeds (Brangus, Beefmaster, Santa Gertrudis) handle heat and humidity better than European breeds because of their loose hide, larger sweat glands, and parasite resistance. Bos indicus genetics are essential below the I-10 corridor.
