[QUOTE="CowCop, post: 389689, member: 1049"] ~ Do you do "on farm" sales ? Do you advertise weaned calves for sale ? I find that a litle education about the benefits of "red" over black really helps to sell them. I sold 2 red steers last year to a man who had purchased "black" for 10 years. He came out to the farm last July to pick the "Blacks" he wanted. He likes the straight bred angus steers. We walked out with the mamas and calves for 90 minutes in intense heat and humidity. I pointed out a few very subtle differences ( color and breed ) to him that he could immediately observe. He handed me the 2 steer numbers he wanted as we returned to his vehicle. Both were my steers ( SimAngus ), and both red. He emailed me several weeks ago----He noticed the faster growth rate and the calmer temperments on the steers. He wants 4 "reds" this year. Apparently his friends want some of that "friendly red beef." [/QUOTE]
