[QUOTE="SmokinM, post: 1151286, member: 21382"] I sell at Lynchburg. Breed preference is largely a regional thing. Hereford cattle as a straight breed will do far better out west the same way Brahma influence cattle do better in the south. These guys buying these cattle are not hobby farmers this is their business and they want to make money. Maximizing profit is about maximizing performance and the best way to do that with a Hereford in this area is to cross it. Those baldie calves bring the most money because they are usually the slickest,calmest,best conditioned calves in the barn. If you can get a breed going that will consistently gain 4lbs. a day on wheat straw they will buy them if they are purple polka dotted. If brood cows are priced right and will raise a good calf then I would buy it. I buy on quality not color. :2cents: [/QUOTE]
