[QUOTE="houstoncutter, post: 1528323, member: 807"] Sad to say this color thing is just another way of the sale barn and order buyers being able to screw producers. As more of you get closer to the so called perfect animal to sale, they will then change what they supposedly want. Seen it happen to many times over the last 50 years. Raise what you can, the cheapest you can, unless you are retaining ownership into the feed yard. That set of rules applies to all parts of the country. Example in my part of the country, calves will have some ear. You will be discounted in the fall if you sell your calves in my neck of the woods even if you calves have no ear at all. The same set of calves will bring top dollar in late Feb. and March, even calves showing a lot of ear will sale for top dollar. I didn't make the rules, but I learned to play by them. Learn what works in you area, and trust me, most likely it will be in conflict of the so called knowledge of Land Grant colleges in your area. [/QUOTE]
