They keep to shady areas or wallow in ponds or dugouts and don't exert energy during the day grazing or moving around much. This is especially true for breeds of cattle that are not adapted to hot environments, such as Angus, Galloway and Highland breeds. They also shed thick winter coats in the spring to have light coats for summer time. Brahman and other Bos indicus-type cattle have sweat glands in their skin, loose thick skin and large ears to help dissipate heat much easier and to prevent external parasites from entering into their systems. They also have a thin, light hair coat which is also advantageous for hot weather.
