[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1653253, member: 498"] I was sitting beside a buyer at a big feeder sale (4,000+ head) last week. They were selling 30-100 head at a time. Several times a bunch of black calves would come in with just 1 or 2 red calves. He would ask to cut the reds off. They would do it and he would pay a lot more than the mixed bunches were bringing. He wasn't bidding on the mixed groups. After one bunch that he cut a couple of real nice red angus calves I said to him, "your guy must really not like red calves." His reply was, "I just do what I am told." He went on to say if he was going to feed that bunch he would leave those reds on the ticket. The feeders are the ones who drive the calf market. [/QUOTE]
