[QUOTE="50/50Farms, post: 1804972, member: 42731"] I'm showing my age, but we were breeding for black or BWF and polled or scurred when I was a kid. I remember when the docks were both soft and hard, though. When we've thrown reds, we've just always hoped they packed enough azz on to make up for it. It is what it is. Most of your money in cattle is in cost vs gain. There are premiums and there are docks, but if you want the best happiness just raise the damn cows you want and figure out the pencil. Don't overstock, think outside the box on supplement, and let nature have her say. Black hides bring the premium in every state I've lived in, but there are producers near me raising chars of such quality that 6 of their heifers would equal what I have in my truck. I don't hate on anybody's cows if they ain't mistreated. That's always been my biggest thing, if you can make it work or have the money for it not to matter, it's none of my damn business. There's no such thing as front pasture cows, if you own or lease the pasture then whatever you rotate to the front is front pasture cows, and anybody who doesn't like looking at them should keep their eyes on the road.
