[QUOTE="mucho bueno, post: 24460, member: 223"] Guest, I think your plan at the end to just produce good healthy calves, is the way to go. I think alot of times this industry is like a fashion show. I ranch in Arizona and it is always changing. Black baldies are a big seller for some buyers, others prefer angus type calves. When you get your herd of black baldies going, then the cream colored charlois cross calves are selling. What I have found over the years, and this is just my opinion and experience buyers like big healthy calves regardless of their breed or coloring. I'm not getting rich but I do ok, I produce good quality calves, some black baldies, some angus, some brahma cross, some hereford crosses. Come shipping time, the only calves left in the pens are the small framed, shorter calves or the very young ones. I believe as far as producing calves that go to the feedlot on the way to slaughter, the most important thing is the ability to gain and maintain weight. Just my opinion but my family has been doing this for over 65 years. [/QUOTE]
