[QUOTE="ROB, post: 268888, member: 3467"] Don't know how this compares to any of your'alls longhorn experiences, but here it goes: I sold a braunvieh heifer at our local salebarn last January. She was a nice thick 700 lb. spring calf born in May. Outdone every other heifer (Angus and Angus-Braunvieh cross) in the same comtemporary group. All the others averaged about $1.15/hundred wt. - she brought 85 cents. $210.00 dock!!! All because of color. Talked to some guys that had attended the sale - they thought she was a really nice looking calf...better than most of the others sold her size (which sold as replacements)...but they wouldn't think of buying something non-black with all their buddies hanging around. Should have kept her for a butcher calf...will know better next time. ROB ___________ Gloom, dispair & agony on me...deep dark depression-excessive misery...if it warn't for bad luck I'd have no luck at all...you know the rest!!! [/QUOTE]
