[QUOTE="Frankie, post: 699345, member: 13"] It didn't get lost in this thread because you never said "a little roan hair on his butt...". You said one "roan" calf in the group. ------- What is more and more apparent is that you STILL haven't bothered to read up on the CAB specs. You still rant about him [b]qualifying [/b]for CAB when you don't know what qualifies an animal anyway. Plus only about 20% of generic black animals qualify, while known Angus qualify at considerably higher percentages. :roll: I know a couple of producers who used to use black longhorns on their heifers. Mostly they get solid black calves out of their black cows, but occasionally they'll get a spotted one. They don't put those spotted calves in the same load with the solid colored calves. They say buyers discount the entire group. I guess you could say your friend lucked out that they cut the calf out and sold him by himself rather than discount the whole lot. If cattle prices start falling, I think you'll see more and more of these sorts of discounts. Probably the best thing for your friend to do is switch to an Angus bull; then he could sell them as AngusSource calves. :D [/QUOTE]
