[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1692265, member: 12607"] And... some of us like red or other 'flavors', enough that we'll go that route even if it means having our cattle unfairly discriminated against just because they're not black. It's wrong, but it's what it is. I much prefer red cattle... and being an old Simmental guy, I liked the original red/white-faced/spotted cows... and... I like Pinzgauer and Braunvieh cattle, too. But... while I could be satisfied with a red baldy... I wasn't going to purposefully breed for 'flowers' or finching. The buyers at the local salebarns would steal spotted calves, and if I'd sent a 'skunk-backed' Pinzgauer-cross through, they'd have marked it up as a LH-cross and downgraded it far below what its true worth should have been. Birddog's son may be trying to keep the red color of his Beefmasters, using a Red Angus. I'd like to see those calves! Several years back, we went to a W.KY Select Bred Heifer sale at Guthrie... several sets of AngusXBeefmaster heifers went through... prettiest things I'd seen in years! [/QUOTE]
