[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1846618, member: 40587"] I watch sales all over the US almost daily, and you are wrong. Not all black calves bring a CAB premium. The later in the stage of development, the more this is true. A lot of trailer weaned black calves , that have no dairy in them, will bring that premium at the sale. The older they get, and the closer stages to slaughter they get, the fewer will fetch the CAB premium. It is obvious to buyers which ones will grade Prime, and which ones will grade select and choice etc. Yes, a decent smoky, or red, or yellow, or Hereford will bring the same...all factors equal as you said, as the black ones that buyers feel won't make CAB. But NO ONE.... EVER...has paid or will pay the CAB premium on a smoky calf, They'd be fools to do so. At any sale where good smokies, reds, etc, sold for the same as the blacks that day...you can bet the farm none of those black calves made CAB at processing. [/QUOTE]
