[QUOTE="Frankie, post: 666854, member: 13"] Welcome to the boards. For your first post, you picked a interesting topic. :) Yes, there are reasons black cattle sell for more than other similar cattle. Black is equated with Angus. Angus are equated with performance in the feedlot and on the rail. And there's demand. Take a look at this USDA link below and notice how many branded beef programs have the word "Angus" in their name. Those programs are almost all based on color (black). So to fill those programs, buyers need black cattle. Even some fast food joints are selling an "Angus" burger. Then there's Certified Angus Beef. It's the oldest and most successful branded beef program around.
