[QUOTE="RDFF, post: 1782280, member: 39018"] Warren, Yeah, I wasn't meaning necessarily saying it on CT will make it even more true... I meant just in general, in conversations with anyone about this topic. But even in regard to a conversation on CT... if enough of us on here voice an opinion... and it tends then to appear to be a majority-supported opinion (which it has seemed to be here in this thread)... that "black hided cattle will bring more money"............ then those reading those words ARE weighing that conversation, and that "opinion" into their purchasing options. Why, after all, is it even a topic of conversation otherwise? So when I or someone else that took an interest in that topic and conversation goes to the barn to buy some feeders, which ones will they be more likely to bid more strongly on? Some may not let the conversation influence them, because they have their own strong opinions and biases... or they like to "go against the tide".... but if enough conversations in the industry continue to support that "black hided theory", it IS eventually going to have an influence broadly and industry-wide (rather than on EVERY SINGLE individual in the industry), and eventually even on those who otherwise are pretty steadfast in their desire to believe otherwise. So, if you like colored cattle better, start conversations as often as possible suggesting that the coloreds are the ones that bring the premium... and if that mantra takes in the broad scale industry-wide, it too will have its influence!
