[QUOTE="BC, post: 529814, member: 67"] It is all about perception and uniformity. Making cattle all black is one quick way to make them apear to be uniform. Chasing the premiums [b]IF[/b] cattle grade well enough to enter the CAB program is another reason some producers have made their cattle black. The yellow calves show evidence of Charolais breeding and will grow fast and have good cut outs on yield grades. Red cattle can perform just as well and the meat is all the same after the hide is removed, but the people feeding the cattle prefer black or yellow cattle due to perception and they are voting with their checkbook. Not wanting to downplay any breed but the longhorn cattle typically do not have the same amount of muscle, they grow slower and do not convert as well in the feedyard. This makes the cost of feeding them higher so they are discounted to make up the difference. [/QUOTE]
