[QUOTE="Dylan Biggs, post: 766269, member: 14282"] The degree of feeder cattle buyer color discrimination will vary with locale and strenght of the market. In our area the Char cross buckskin(tan) will bring top dollar, then your solid red and black Angus/Exotic cross cattle. There is always more discrimination in the calf market then in the fall yearling market also. The traditional Tarentaise color pattern and the cross progeny that are brindles will be discounted regardless of quality because with a minority color class the buyers can, and so they do. If they are crossed on blacks and the muzzle ring is almost hidden then you may get away with it. Here if you sell yearlings scaled out of your own yard with conditions of sale and weight known before a price is determined you can sell the good quality off colors without a discount with the rest of the solid reds and blacks. If you go through the ring with a handful then chances are you will be predatorized regardless of quality. [/QUOTE]
