[QUOTE="Silver, post: 1643549, member: 12520"] Things are different in the north. Traditional Simmies and Charolais sell very well if the quality is there. There is no added money for anything being black. A black calf that weighs the same as a good Simmental or Simmie cross will sell as well as the Simmie all things being equal. Buyers stopped in for a visit last night and talked about how feeders and buyers do pay attention to which ranches calves come from and know very well how they perform. Reputation is key. They also talked about how they like calves that come off open range and how they are better competitors at the feed bunk than their small tame pasture counterparts. Some interesting stuff. Herefords are a tough sell up here though. Neighbouring ranch is transitioning away from them simply because they are a tough sell. And they had good ones too. [/QUOTE]
