[QUOTE="MTplainsman, post: 469142, member: 7375"] Hmmm... well I will tell you the blacks do in fact bring slightly more than any other hide. It isn't fair, as some of the best calf lots to step in our local ring have been reds, as few as there are in this country. I've seen blacks bring 30 to 40 cents higher than any other shade some years. However, the this black business is nothing more than a fad in which there have been many over time. Some day they will all be bought on carcass, regardless of thier color. I for one am not gonna completely steer my herd over to one color or another just to meet industry demands. Some day soon it will be all about carcass, and that's when I will make up for the black fad. Don't get me wrong, half my cows are pure black. I like em both. [/QUOTE]
