[QUOTE="randiliana, post: 118186, member: 2308"] OK, this is a Canada vs. US question!! Up here a smoky (grey) calf is worth about the same amount as a longhorn. Heck, if we see someone who has a couple black cows in with a charolais bull we shake our heads. :roll: BUT, when we go down into Montana, we see whole HERDS :o of black cows being bred charolais. And seeing that a lot of our cattle end/ed up in US why the big difference?! I say to my hubby that buying smoky heifers would be a great(cheap) way to build up the herd, after all we can buy them for 10-20 cents/lb less than we can anything else. Plus, chances are when bred black we would likely get black (and a few smoky ones), red would give us red or tan and char would likely give us white!! But no go!!
