[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 657718, member: 968"] The FEEDLOTS dictate the color pricing & breeding. They pay more for blacks and really, really discount the spots. It's a trickle down affect. Started 30 years ago. Cattle back then were always "backgrounded", than came the large framed Continentals. Took a long time for feedlots to figure out you had to take them off the teat & put them on a hot ration. Our daughter showed many spotted steers that won & went Prime 1 or Choice 1 at 13-14 months of age at 1300#. But, they went right from cow to grain & got pushed. [/QUOTE]
