It looks like the market is shifting away from black in my area. My last two trips with calves my herefords have taken top dollar. Hereford calves today brought 1.25 a pound, Charolais did well also 1.17 to 1.22. Black calves 1.12 to 1.20 all the calves were in the 400 to 500 pound range. For the last few years I have averaged a nickel under the black calves. It looks as if the buyers aren't just looking for black hair anymore, at least in East Texas. Just wondering if any of ya'll are seeing a shift towards quality versus color.
