[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1822858, member: 24816"] Those regional differences have always been interesting to me. Here most of the cattle in the southeast region are bought by order buyers and shipped west with the exception of the few bought to background and run on pasture until bigger then those are shipped west as well. Here under usual circumstances the Hereford looking calves and white Charolais are docked heavy. Charx, are just a few cents behind black cattle and red necks, solid reds are docked more than Charx but not as much as straight Herefords. Interesting because if other areas reds and Chars are competitive why the significant dock in other places, if it’s not just a set up of the local buyers. It’s been a few months since I’ve been at any stockyards but when I was going to a few it was a high demand time and a lot less dockage was going on. Saw some straight Herefords get a real good sale in comparison to normal and some solid reds sold right with the black cattle, and usually they are several cents to a dime behind even on better quality reds. Herefords can be as much as 30 cents behind or more. [/QUOTE]
