[QUOTE="randiliana, post: 307619, member: 2308"] As far as I can tell, the reason is "because they can". I've seen some teriffic looking spotted animals go for nothing just because of the spots. Sad but that is the way it is. Everyone asks why you don't just keep them, and the answer is that you have to sell them eventually, and unless you are set up to sell directly to the consumer you are eventually going to get hit. If I were in the feedlot business those would be the animals to buy, spots, greys... the off colored animals that have quality to them. But I'm not in that business so they go to market if we get one, take the first loss, it is usually the smallest one ;-) [/QUOTE]
