KF, don't want to get in a color war. If you have black baldie heifers and a herford bull, you're gonna' throw some redneck calves as well as baldies. Check around and see if the rednecks sell as well as the blacks. If they do and you want a herford bull, I'd go for it. If the redneck cows or calves are a discount, rethink your plan.
The black vs red thing is here, you can be nice and moan about color all day, but like many of us, you can't change it. Does your pocketbook no good to say, "They stole my redneck heifers, they were just as good as the black ones." Maybe someday it will change, but for now that's the way it is. gs
