[QUOTE="Jessica06, post: 1365195, member: 5612"] We've been sitting through quite a few sales around here the last couple of months trying to get a good idea of what our calves are worth. I would say that muscle trumps color to some extent, but of the different colors black definitely sells the best. If you can make black #1's with 3/8 ear or less, that's about the best you can do. Charolais crosses do ok, but they'd better have butt. I think, especially with the importation of more Brazilian beef, it's going to be more and more important to make calves that have a chance at grading. When good black calves go through, it takes about twice as long to sell them because so many buyers jump in. [/QUOTE]
