[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 745158, member: 968"] Thanks guys/gals. We're real proud of our cattle. and yes, calves are really doing great. Calves "come out" all wooly & bear looking. That's what a cold climate does! Lots of our black calves come out "gray-ish" or "brown-ish" - and most of them are heterozygous black. We just pulled samples for DNA on 9 head yesterday (some yearlings & some 2-yr). Some were done for our own breeding program purposes and some were done because they are going in a sale and we need to report if they are hetero or homo black. Yes, the black COLOR comes from Angus. No, we have never bred any of our cows to Angus bulls, although I have a 1/2 blood sired by Lemmons Finish Line. We bought her Purebred dam with heifer calf on side. We get really good $$$$ for good red cattle. Remember, if it is in short supply, it becomes in higher demand. Also, remember we are talking purebred breeding stock. All my steers either go direct to a feedlot buyer that buys our calves sight unseen, over our scales and doesn't care what color they are and some of them we retain ownership & put on Cornell's feedout program, selling them on the rail. Only time color comes into the picture for them, is if they sell as CAB. :banana: [/QUOTE]
