[QUOTE="BC, post: 820914, member: 67"] My comments about the red/yellow calves bringing more dollars is based on my weekly observation at local sale and friends and neighbors who have commented on the fact that their calves sired by black bulls are giving up weaning weight compared to the calves they previously raised. I have worked for a small order buying company here in East Texas for 3.5 years. When I first started, we would get maybe 25% black hided calves on our orders due to the premium paid for the black hides. That has changed. We now get 60 to 70% black calves because they are more readily available and don’t command a big premium. [/QUOTE]
