[QUOTE="usernametaken, post: 428741, member: 6820"] Yes, but all Angus are not always black and all black cattle are not Angus. Do you think another breed, if they put on a huge marketing campaign and convinced the demand to be asking for pink spotted cows then all the other colors would be docked ? In other words is it purely a marketing influence or are there any biological reasons ? Funny, I would think they would like White carcasses. Aren't there other breeds with ears also - maybe not as big as Brahman ears but still would be docked ? I am thinking Devon - ruby red - have some ear ? How much do they dock for these things ? Is it a significant amount ? Maybe it would be better to go ahead and amputate it at 2 days old and save them the trouble. I think I am not liking sale barns so far. [/QUOTE]
