[QUOTE="cypressfarms, post: 611352, member: 2653"] I believe that down south the preference is for black first. This is reflected in the sales price at auction time. I prefer beefmaster, but thhey just don't bring as much. Now cross that Beefmaster with a black bull, and you have something. Black with little ear gets you good money, even now. If your selling weanling heifers, a little ear brings more money than none. There are plenty of farmers that buy heifers, raise them and sell them in "replacement" sales. In these sales brangus type commercial bring the most. Brafords/tigers bring in a close second. Most people down here want a replacement with some ear to help with the heat. There are always exceptions, baldies are the one that comes to mind. Everyone wants black baldies, either heifers as replacements, or steers to send to the feedlots. At least in my parts the most common herd is black cows with a growth bull, or mixed cows (baldies, tigers, etc.) with an Angus/Brangus bull. In both scenarios you get calves that are predominately black, but still grow well. [/QUOTE]
