[QUOTE="Chocolate Cow, post: 1381477, member: 25265"] The thing that bothers me is, when the local barn is selling red angus replacement heifers or breds, they are talked up as though there's nothing better. And, they will sell that way too. But, you turn around and bring their calves back to the sale or mix some reds in with blacks and it's a different day/different rules. The reds won't sell as well as the blacks and the reds will most likely be sorted away from the blacks and sold as two separate groups with a price difference discriminating against the reds. The market is a fickle thing. Two weeks ago, I saw a buyer sort a black baldie off a group of blacks. It was sold as a single, $15 back. Same weight. No idea why. It seems wrong that a barn allows a group to be picked apart in the ring. [/QUOTE]
