[QUOTE="Running R, post: 1610128, member: 39288"] Thanks, Doc. Our area does not suffer from Black Hide Derangement Syndrome. In fact, the markets in CO an WY are trending toward Red cows and red out-crosses. We transitioned from black cattle (BA and Simmental) because of it. The feeders (not so much the finishers) are telling us they want, good fleshed, moderate framed, red F1s. They love the heterosis. My whole intent on this venture is to step back from the registered cattle rat-race and raise commercial stock to keep me from getting into too much trouble. We have strong sale yards in this area and do not take hits on red feeders. Anything unusual, and/or pretty goes for a premium to the small operator or club calf market. Thanks for the tips; I'll get right on your referrals. What are your recommendations for blue roan calves? My best cow is a blue roan heterozygous black (simmental x shorthorn) F1. I would love a blue calf out of her, but I gather that is a bit tricky. Any thoughts on the orange "paints"? Thanks for the help, Pete [/QUOTE]
