[QUOTE="Andyva, post: 1255010, member: 1022"] Around here the first thing that pops in the buyers head when he sees spots is not necessarily LH, but Holstein, lot's of Holstein bottle calves get fed out around here, some of them bred to one another to put another body on the trailer. Spotted up calf could be Simm or SH, but it could also be LH or Holstein. Latter two is a money losing proposition to a feedlot. Feedlot can't be much different than a cow calf operation, solid black one jumps the cattle guard or weans a small calf she doesn't stick in my mind, let a marked up one do it and I have my eye on her from then on. Lot operator sees a spotted calf not doing good, he will have it in for spotted calves from then on. Standing out is not always a good thing, ask somebody that's been in the service. Good buddy of mine was pretty tall, said it was a good way to get picked didn't matter if they were digging latrines or peeling potatoes. [/QUOTE]
