[QUOTE="cypressfarms, post: 146774, member: 2653"] Then that color started bringing 20 cents per pound more. Funny how quick things can change. My view on the subject is that the commercial cattlemen really are the backbone of the cattle industry. The purebred breeders are giving seedstock. So if the commercial start to buy black, then seedstock find ways to make black. I'm not trying to insult anyone here, just my opinion. Take Charolais for example: the white is a diluter, so if you use a charolais bull, you will not have black calves with black cows. You'll have shades of gray. So now we hear that there are black charolais bulls. Maybe caustic's right. All of the breeds are going behind the same woodshed. I'm not sure, but in the last 10 to 20 years it's amazing how many previously bible toting breeds have gone black. [/QUOTE]
