A mature cow"s maintenance energy requirements vary as a function of genetics (tropical breed versus British breed versus Continental breed versus Composite breed, long hair coat, short hair coat, surface area/body mass ratio), wet cold weather, wind, etc. Usually the local extension agent or the local state ag schools can provide the incremental feed requirements for the "normal" bad weather situations. In cold weather, ranchers learn to read the cows Body Condition Score (BCS) and if they see it dropping too much, they increase the energy intake by adding grain or increase the hay fed.
While cattle are very adaptable (there is more genetic variation within a breed than there is between breeds) , most of the beef cattle production occurs in the more temperate climatic locations. The hotter humid regions generally have cattle with lighter hair coats and Brahman influence.(The hide temperature of a Red Angus is approximately 20° F cooler than a black hided Angus.) In the Great Basin, mature cow weights are lower due to the low feed productivity in the dry, arid location. So cattle are matched to their environment to maximize their performance.
