[QUOTE="BC, post: 205128, member: 67"] The reason black is so popular is that to qualify for several of the premium grids, 1) a calf must be 51% black hided and 2) they have to grade high choice or higher. First step to meet those qualifications is to be black. Here in my part of East Texas, people are turning their calf crops black with some yellow calves. Lots of black heifers and cows being turned out. Not the most environmentally correct cow for the hot, humid environment. Red or yellow cows are better suited. Could put black bulls on the cows to get calves that get you in he door on the premiums if you are a feeder. [/QUOTE]
