[QUOTE="LocustDaleCattleCompany, post: 1738700, member: 24074"] Yeah it always ticks me off when I take a load into any of the sale barns around here and they cut out the red or smokes. These “off” colored calves usually grow better than 80% of our black or BWF calves. Took 50 in a few weeks ago and my one “black Hereford” (their words not mine); heifer just had too much chrome she looked and graded with the rest but they still cut her out sold 22 cents lower per pound and two reds (biggest two heifers of the group) got cut out but only sold 7 cents lower which wasn’t terrible. I swear I’m keeping every red Baldie as a replacement from now on because they are some of my best cows. Historically they usually throw black calves anyways with homozygous black bulls in our experience. [/QUOTE]
