[QUOTE="FlyingLSimmentals, post: 1309546, member: 16752"] The sale barn that we sell our feeders, calves are comingled with others creating a so called uniform pen near the same weight. The blacks will usually sell a nickel or a hair more than the reds and char's. I think the reds are hurt by being mixed with the grays and whites Char's :2cents: . Now every once in a while the reds will out sell the blacks. Here lately I have noticed some of that. The black pens are getting larger with more head knocking out buyers whom doesn't want that many hd. and therefore bid and compete more for the smaller pens of the reds creating more bids. Seem like every producer is raising black cattle that those pens are getting over run. Here on the farm we try and retain or purchase the best quality we can afford. If she is red it doesn't matter she goes to the retaining heifer pen or being purchased instead of the homo black less quality female and the same goes for the bulls. My favorite bull is a Heterozygous Black Homozygous Polled Bull, therefore God makes the decision of whether it is red or black :) and I don't have those dang horns. I'm partial to red cattle a bit myself and have always thought our red calves outgrew their black mates. [/QUOTE]
