[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 965212, member: 968"] If you have a herd of homo black Angus cows & use a Simme bull - or have a herd of black Simmies & use an Angus bull it's still 50/50 genetics. Should have same calves - IF ALL IS EQUAL quality. Your best option, instead of playing the black game is MARKET your calves. Don't just bring them to the local sale barn. Market direct to a buyer. I direct market all blacks & reds to same buyer. Got 1.50/lb avg 710# - local sale had some feeders for 0.90-$1.00. Think what I would have lost. You producers that sit back & depend on a local auction are getting killed. Well, I say that, but maybe it isn't as drastic a difference in "real" cattle country - not "New York". :D [/QUOTE]
