[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1683284, member: 968"] Japan purchased black hided cattle and paid a premium. Also, CAB pays a premium for black hided cattle (any breed). So, yes LVR, black hide makes them more money. It is a $$$$ profit thing for the feedlots. My PB Simmentals bring a premium if I sell finished steers that are black. I breed for breeding stock - steers are strictly a cash flow thing. My cattle are reds and blacks. I don't care if they are purple polka dotted, just so they are GOOD. Color does not mean anything. Although, there are "fads" that people will pay more for their breeding stock. At the moment RED with blaze faces are HOT. A black steer may make me a little more than a red one if I sold on an open market (which I do not). But, selling 1 heifer of any color equals 3-6 steers, so I do not breed black Simmentals for the perceived Angus benefit. [/QUOTE]
