[QUOTE="danbrady, post: 792869, member: 14240"] I sell some beef that goes to east Texas and that first calf pictured would be a winner with that white mark on its forehead and belly. I use a white faced Braford bull x with mostly black angus cross cows, some red and charlois. It's marketable, although they say beef prices are steadily rising, I have been very satisfied since I have been using these bulls. I mean, I think it's the bulls cross, over the market avg. that is keeping them bringing them their value. I have a couple of cows that can't help but bring calves with a wild long horn color, it's too bad. I am proud of the calves and eat all I can and sell the rest. The last steer like that I went ahead and sold and he even did surprisingly good, only a nickel shy from his herdmates. So whatever, if they got the weight and height I wouldn't worry about it. I am sure not gonna cull an easy keeping fertile cow over her calf color, unless things get tight. Then she would go first! :) [/QUOTE]
