[QUOTE="Frankie, post: 257857, member: 13"] Nope, never argue with a stop sign. They're always right. You're not. But every pound of beef or meat is not valued the same. That's why black cattle tend to sell better than other breeds, all other things being equal. Consumers will pay more for quality beef. Retailers will pay more for quality beef. Packers and feedlots pay more for cattle they THINK will produce quality beef. So maybe pounds are the first premium, maybe not. On the RFD auctions I've seen black calves sell higher than similar weight calves of other colors. I'll bet you have, too. Sure. If you want, I'll see if I can [b]AGAIN[/b] find the [i]Drovers[/i] article where the Future Beef rep said cows that produced YG 1 calves were less likely to breed back and wouldn't stay in the herd as long. Surely you remember it, though. [/QUOTE]
