[QUOTE="SBMF 2015, post: 1653519, member: 39695"] The farm that I'm herdsman at has used char bulls since the early '70s. We finish out all the calves we raise. We also used to buy several hundred feeders a year. Used to send finished cattle all over the country to packers. Out of the five packers we used to send cattle to two of them got to a point that they would not bid on pot loads of cattle because we could not guarantee that the loads would be 85% or more blk hided. Baldies count as colored cattle, not blacks. We always sell live, not on the rail. A neighbor is a retired USDA inspector. One plant he used to go to, would sort off blue roans and baldies. They got hauled to the sale barn. They would only kill solid blacks. [/QUOTE]
