In NAR and SMO we can have some fairly big extremes for our winters. Some winters we can have several days below zero at night and sometimes we can have over a foot of snow. This winter was very mild but there were some big swings in temps. I have more problems with pneumonia in a mild winter.
Most summers are hot and dry with temps 95-100 common July through the middle of September. Last summer was not as hot as normal but the dewpoint stayed above 75. That is perfect for insects and disease. Cattle don't do well at all when the dewpoint and humidity are high. The dewpoint is the key.
In our area, IMO, it's easier to put weight on in the winter. It may take more feed but they gain so much better. I personally don't like the cold but it seems like it's easier to take care of the cattle.
