[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1781534, member: 18945"] Here, those yellows and smokies sell dang good. True story. Around 2013,I went down to Liberty Texas for that year's South East Texas Beef Symposium. Between the presentations and talks, we all took a break and most of us walked outside where the dealership hardware was and a few vendor booths. There was a busload of bored looking FFA/4H kids wandering around from one of the county ag class and they came up just as I approached a guy behind the counter for Brangus cattle. He has some give away stickers and some pamphlets there and as the kids came up,I was hoping to get them engaged a bit so I asked him "What will a Brangus bull do on Char cows and their calves?" He sez (exclaimed) "Why, he'll turn 'em black!" I waited for him to go further, maybe milking ability, easy calving, drought resistance but no, all he had to say was "You'll get black calves!" That's the day I came to understand just how deep the black hide fever had progressed. Not much has changed either. It's still all about being a bovine one color Sherwin Williams salesman for many. (I LIKE Brangus cattle and always have, tho I prefer red brangus and that was what I was really considering trying out back then) [/QUOTE]
