[QUOTE="msscamp, post: 307739, member: 539"] I could be wrong here, but I believe docking happens because each individual area has certain breeds that work better than other breeds as far as performance, gain, hardiness, tolerance, etc. Each breed contributes certain characteristics to the calf that are discernable by a knowledgeable cattleman/buyer, and they can tell the underlying breeds, usually, and know that that particular combination won't work for the area that the animal is destined for. Then there is the solid black animal that sells better due to CAB (sorry, guys and gals) and all of its hype. [/QUOTE]
