[QUOTE="cypressfarms, post: 765308, member: 2653"] Melking, I'd like to further qualify andybob's statement about "ear". Down here in the deep south "ear" is very desirable in replacement heifers. So a commercial brangus, tigerstripe, or any other female with ear would bring a premium, as they are considered preferred cows for cow/calfers. However, the problem comes in when that cow has a bull calf with ear. Steers with ear will not bring as much as steers with normal ear. Just the way it is down here. That's a big reason why I'll probably go to a baldy operation with one of the herds. Baldies will bring good money regardless of being a heifer or a steer. [/QUOTE]
