[QUOTE="cattleman99, post: 773995, member: 14530"] I had a cow family (Fleckvieh) with a lot of white. I was getting killed at the auction yard because of colour but the cow family was just too good to get rid of. For whatever reason the old girl that started that family has had 7 heifers and only one bull calf over the years so I continue to breed her Fleckvieh and don't worry about the colour. I then have been breeding her calves to a variety of Red Angus bulls from Select Sires. I haven't had any calving issues, fertility issues and the calves have all been good with the exception of off of one bull I tried. Luckily I only try 5 straws to start on any new bul so the remaining 3 off of that particular bull will sell with the tank when I retire someday. This has eliminated the colour issues and the calves sell well. i would have liked to have gone Hereford on them but locally the Red Angus sells much better. [/QUOTE]
