[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1831496, member: 40587"] I have never seen any sold at a local sale. Just special breed sales. I don't think anyone would go through the expense of buying registered BH bulls and/or cows to use as a commercial herd. The only time you might see a calf sold commercially would be if both parents were hetero, and the calf came out red. I suppose in the future, there may be some pb but not registered commercial BHs , that get sold at local auctions. What we are seeing more and more, are f1 Brahma x Black Hereford. The ones I have seen first hand, the black heifers sold at weaning for about $100 more per head than reds, and $200 more than brindled. And the steers sold for a LOT more than red or brindleds do. An f1 operation is one area that having a hetero for black bull wouldn't hurt you so much. If the cows had black calves, you make more money than you would with using a red Hereford bull on the Brahmas. Especially with the steers. If it sired some red or brindled ones, you make the same money as you would have if you had used a red Hereford bull. [/QUOTE]
