[QUOTE="SBMF 2015, post: 1651543, member: 39695"] Besides my own cow herd, for the last 20years I've been Herdsmen for a neighbor. We used to feed our around 400 hd a yr. When we were buying feeder cattle my first choice was red and roan (red or blue) Shorthorn crosses, second choice was black nosed Charolais. The packers want good cutting cattle, they can bend the rules to make hide color work the way they want. But... Here in the heart of the corn belt the sale barns and order buyers have beat it in to everyone that black hides rule. The last two years my char cross strs have brought $0.15 less than their black half sibs. It makes me sick, but I just don't have room to feed them out. [/QUOTE]
