[QUOTE="StrojanHerefords, post: 1822835, member: 42988"] The red hide discount does exist, when we would take 3/4 Hereford 1/4 Angus calves to the sale barn and they would sell the calves by hide color. The half that were black hided sold for more than the same calves that were red hided. The worst part of the deal is that the discount for having small groups was worse than the red hide discount. I am a contrarian so I decided to go all red. It is nice now because if there is a cow on the road, I can ask what color it is and if it is black I can go back to sleep. From what I have heard the discount for Hereford calves is greatest at weaning time and goes away as the calves put size on. I believe the ultimate issue is the contraction in the feedlots and packers. There aren't enough buyers to keep things honest. [/QUOTE]
