[QUOTE="Travlr, post: 1781111, member: 42463"] Two animals walk into the same slaughter house. They are identical in every respect except one is black and the other is not. After they are slaughtered they weigh and grade the same. They cut the same, and yield the same. The steaks eat the same. The guy that raised both animals put the same effort and investment into both animals... but at the sale barn he got $ more for the black steer ONLY based on the color. Whether it's a "premium" being paid for black, or a "discount" for non-black it amounts to the same thing. And once the hide is removed the animals are identical. AND there is no legitimate reason for price differences based on color. Red and white and whatever can and do yield and grade the same and should bring the same prices. Some breeds even outperform black angus in the feedlot as an average... yet they get discounted as standard procedure. That's wrong on all levels. [/QUOTE]
