[QUOTE="ArrowHBrand, post: 397839, member: 6496"] Has anyone had a calf discriminated against because of color? I'm not going to name names and I don't have proof, but it really makes a person wonder when you are at a show, participating or watching, and you know which is the best calf, but that calf gets second to a black calf. Take Maines for instance they can either be black or red or if they are high % maines even have some white thrown in there. I've seen it many times where a lesser quality black calf will win over a better colored calf. I will admit my surprise though a couple of years ago my wife and I had a great shorty steer who had won his class and went into overall with all other black calves. Lets just say Bert stuck out like a sore thumb, he had a twin brother named Ernie, but anyway he ended up winning the steer show. You always see or hear of these participants dying the brown tint out of their calves or of painting over some white when color should have no place on the judges tally sheet. Opinions? [/QUOTE]
