[QUOTE="Brandonm22, post: 638505, member: 7645"] You are now comparing apples too oranges. If you tell me (forget the color) that a uniform group of polled/dehorned 5 weight calves all the same frame and ALL Muscle Score 1s brought a $100 more per head than a put together pen full of mixed colors, mixed frames, mixed muscle scores (with most on the 3 side) and some dairy influence in the group maybe some horns maybe some of questionable health I don't disagree with that at all. Of course the second pen is probably trader/dealer cattle he picked up either buying cheap bred cows or 3 wt calves he bought at a sale barn someplace and obviously put together cattle that have to be sorted and probably doctored are always going to take some sort of a dock. All I was saying is that if you ran two sound 5 wt calves into the ring with the same size, muscle score, health status, and frame there is not going to be a $100 difference (right now neither of them will probably bring $1 cwt down here) just because one is black, red, yellow, white, burnt orange, or grey.
