If you live where the weather is hot and humid you may experience loss of production because of it. High heat and humidity effect growth and conception rates. Pharo Cattle Company® is working to provide natural, genetics-based solutions.

Since 2015, several of our cooperative producers (CP’s) have been raising composite bulls from breeds that are known to prosper in high heat environments. Although most breeders attain heat tolerance with Brahman cattle, PCC® has sought out Bos Taurus breeds that have Spanish or African origins. These include Mashona, Creollo, Romosinuano, Tuli and Senepol. By using our thick, easy-fleshing, moderate-sized Angus and Red Angus as a base, Pharo Cattle Company has developed these composite bulls without compromising the traits we are known for such as disposition, carcass quality, fleshing ability, calving ease, fertility. The result is cattle that grow, prosper and rebreed in high heat environments with a much more acceptable and marketable appearance.

This spring, PCC® is selling heat tolerant bulls in Texas, April 7th, Missouri, April 13th, and Colorado, April 20th. You’ll also find Angus, Red Angus and Hereford bulls that are 18 months old and ready to go to work. For more info go to PharoCattle.com. I’ll see you next time on the Herd Quitter® Minute.
