[QUOTE="Travlr, post: 1822055, member: 42463"] When you have a limited amount of money in a marketplace... as all markets do... and one product has a perceived value that is greater than another and gets a higher price, then it doesn't matter what you call it, dock or premium is functionally opposite ends of the same thing to those selling product. And when the perceived value is unjustified and only benefiting a single average product at the expense of all others and their efforts, it is not good for the entire industry. The CAB debacle is so pervasive that if two groups of calves go through a sale that will never qualify for CAB... one group black and the other any other color... the black ones that won't qualify for CAB will still get the stinkin' "premium" and the other group that's just as good will get "docked" for being a color that isn't black.
