[QUOTE="Alberta farmer, post: 654484, member: 8978"] Sorry wasn't trying to create a lot of controversy...just saying it how I see it. Not sure what the comment was about color? I think the average order buyer for the big feedlots knows pretty well what will perform...and what won't? I doubt very much they are "color conscious"? They know what cattle will work for their customer...the feedlot? Up here they want a predominantly black or red calf with a lot of obvious Angus influence. Again I stress they will take a Char cross at close to the same money! However if you want to see poor selling calves just observe straight bred herefords, or straightbred shorthorns...which are both pretty rare anymore...most guys only need to see a couple of years of poor prices before they figure it out? Most of the straightbred hereford guys are old people who don't really care if they make any money. Just my observations and opinion. [/QUOTE]
