[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 1643527, member: 1715"] I used to buy every smoke and cream colored calf I could. I bought them at a big discount and they out gained almost everything. RWF is a harder one. Depends on what made them. I have noticed the RA based kind can get fleshier than "improved" blacks. Red calves are not common here, so they usually get sorted off and sold about 5 cents back. If you put together a group of heavy feeders they may sell even with, but more typically 2 to 3 cents back, of blacks. So again they make the backgrounder/stocker more money than blacks. I think SBMF nailed it. Depends on what orders the big buyers have. They pass on the junk, and they also pass on the most profitable calves. Black Limi for producing commodity calves. Red Angus for producing grass fed beef. [/QUOTE]
