[QUOTE="VLS_GUY, post: 930446, member: 13182"] Where the Black Charolais idea got started is that in Canada the Charolais is the establishment. There is not much room for market growth in the traditional white bull market. The breeders had some red factor cattle they were selling to people that wanted to preserve the buckskin color on char cross cows and to people that wanted to hide the fact they were using a Charolais bull on black and red cows (a minority). Since many of these red factor bulls sold well they started going after the Limousin and Blonde D'Aquitaine market share on purpose. From this grew the idea of why not produce black cattle to get business from those people that want a black continental bull? Considering the advantage from the stamp a white bull puts on his calves this is a small market. Something else to consider: New breeders used the fact they had black Charolais for the shock promotional value. Just ask some of the people on the list I gave about this. [/QUOTE]
