[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1781097, member: 24816"] Since the same ol argument about CAB/black hide premiums came up in another thread, it got me to thinking about the wording in the market reports from several stockyards around here back around October. Those who make the argument that non black cattle are not discounted and that the black hided calves simply receive a premium are wrong. The archived reports do not include the comments about each individual sale day. The original reports contain a brief description of the market trends. We watched those reports pretty closely back heading into and through October 22 when we were planning to sell our calves. The wording in the reports from several different area stockyards, compiled by individuals from the KY Dept. of Agriculture were stated as to the effect of “ discounts for off colored calves, bawling and fleshy calves. “ There were also some statements to the effect of “preference shown for long weaned packages” They clearly stated discounts for non black calves. There is a lot more at play here than CAB, to be concerned about. I keep up with the R Calf stuff via Facebook. It said beef imports were higher this year than since 2002 or somewhere there bout. We’ve been told that the US doesn’t produce enough lower quality beef is why we have to import, something’s are not adding up if it’s a simple matter of supply and demand. [/QUOTE]
