[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1804892, member: 24816"] In response to your statement about damned white, grey or red steer, there’s been a lot of Angus referred to as damned Angus too I’m guessing at a pretty substantial number due to their disposition when trying to work them. 😂 I have a saying, I would rather work Herefords but when selling I’d rather sell black cattle. 🤔😎😂 Yes in most cases black cattle not necessarily always Angus do sell for more. Like I mentioned in an earlier post, a couple months ago I watched a set of around 50, high 700 weight heifers that were very mixed in color. Majority Charolais, most of the others were red some solid, a few Herefords, a few blue roans, and even some that looked to be painted up longhorn crosses. Those heifers outsold by 2 or 3 cents a pound a similar sized group in size and number of head of all solid black heifers that I thought sure would end up selling for more. Generally speaking a mixed group of calves with that many or more would be selling around .10 less than comparable black cattle. The difference must have been that buyers must have had orders for nonblack replacement quality groups of heifers. Certainly no hobby farmer around here is going to buy 50 head just cause they look pretty. A big thing here lately has been buyers wanting cattle with no implants. I don’t know if that was that much of a factor or not, generally speaking it would not make up the usual difference I believe I remember seeing a few groups predominantly of CharolaisX with a few black calves selling right along with black calves. Typically they would be a few cents behind all black calves but usually here Charx calves don’t get docked too bad at all. The ones that look like pure Charolais yes they sell about like Herefords but like I said at least for here with the market being as hot as it is right now, good quality groups are closing the gap. Singles are still a ways off depending on what they are. [/QUOTE]
