[QUOTE="Oldtimer, post: 1286407, member: 97"] OK I agree supply and demand- where locally in my county there are 6 or 7 black angus bull sales yearly - and another 5-6 private treaty black angus producers-- we see 2 red angus bull sales... To me that tells me the demand is not there with producers... And the reason I see that lack of demand with producers is that historically for the past 20 years- black hided cattle topped the markets- followed by reds or chars- with herefords being docked quite a bit more... And I'm at the sale barn every week- and I watch lot after lot go thru and the blacks top comparable reds almost every time... Sometimes not by much- but the usually outsell them.... We haven't had much of a run yet this year for comparison - but last week two sets of heifers from the same owner sold. Both lots weighed 534 average- blacks brought $1.83 for $976- reds brought $1.80 for $924.... Cattle that run side by side and probably shared much of the same genetics.... You are right- there are a lot less seedstock red angus- but that is because the demand has not been there... [/QUOTE]
