[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1650686, member: 40587"] Yep. A lot of people buying Corrientes to train their horses, learn to rope ) or bull dog) and practice with, want the black Corrientes, because they intend to breed them with Angus. If team ropers ( or steer wrestlers) are buying them just to rope (or dog), we don't care what color they are...the cheaper the better. Rodeo stock contractors don't want all black, either. The varied colors just look better in the show. The reason people will pay a little more to buy solid blacks, is because when the heifers are roped out, and they breed them to an Angus, they can be more sure they will get a black calve. These black, polled half-Corriente calves will wean off as big as a straight Angus, and it costs less than half to buy, and feed, the cow as it does a straight Angus. I'll bet that is why the guy with the roan Shorthorn bull is wanting to buy roan Corrientes. The resulting calf will be just as good, or nearly as good, as a pureberd Shorthorn, but the cost for the cow, and the cost to maintain them, is a lot less. [/QUOTE]
