[QUOTE="Mottlefaceman413, post: 1316565, member: 24385"] Lately, I have been researching Beefmaster cattle and looking to purchase some to grow my herd and I have found something to be very confusing. I have reached out to some breeders and they seem to really be driving the idea of buying red Beefmasters over duns, mottle faced and other colors for that matter. That said, when I read the philosophy the breed was founded on disposition was a six essential and color was not. So, when I was watching the cattle in motion video and they were selling bulls that were red and pretty nervous, I asked myself if the association had decided to use color in place of disposition as an essential. Personally, I do not mind what the association plans to do, but I would like to figure out where they truly stand, so I can then make a decision that fits my program. As a commercial man, I have found that blaze face and duns have worked better for me because the duns seem to handle heat better and the blaze face animals work better with black bulls. Now, I am speaking completely on personal opinion and preference; therefore, I am looking to the Beefmaster folks to help clarify things for me and put me on the right path. [/QUOTE]
