[QUOTE="randiliana, post: 221041, member: 2308"] Rod, we sell in Mankota. It is big OLD FASHIONED ranch country down here, and the buyers are used to seeing black, red, hereford and white faced animals. Used to be that anything off color was longhorn or longhorn cross. It isn't now, but they use that excuse. Last fall, we sorted our big steers into one big bunch, and sold them as is reds/blacks/herefords etc, we got a couple cents above the sale average, and we'll do the same again this fall. The 2 roanish steers we had were graded, and we did well on them as well, they weren't excessively roan. Generally, the black animals sell the best here, with tans following closely, then the reds, then herefords and greys and then all the off colors, there will be about 5-10 cents between the blacks and the herefords. I will keep in mind those markets you are mentioning, but we are 4 hours from Saskatoon, so that plays a big part in where we sell. As for the bull, the fellow we bought this spring is almost solid red, he has a few white markings, but the guy we got him from said that he doesn't seem to add white to his calves. (He is a 3 year old). I've done my research on the Shorthorn breed, and colors, since genetics really interest me, and have found that they basically say the same as you :D !! Thanks!! [/QUOTE]
