[QUOTE="Frankie, post: 445987, member: 13"] Got a link? I'd be interested in reading it. Here's a link to a study OK State did several years ago: [url=http://www.ansi.okstate.edu/research/2000rr/04.htm]http://www.ansi.okstate.edu/research/2000rr/04.htm[/url] I can only comment on what I see. I've seen Superior auctioneers and auctioneers here in OK offer to cut out the white faced calves in order to get the bid up on a group of black calves. Though I haven't attended the sale in a while, the last couple of our state cattlemen's sponsered female replacement sale that we attended, there just weren't any white faced heifers offered for sale. In years past when groups of 20-25 animals came in from a ranch that used Hereford & Angus bulls, they'd be in groups of baldies or groups of solid blacks. The blacks always outsold the baldies. And the polled baldies outsold the horned baldies. Most every heifer sold there will be bred to "an easy calving Angus bull." [/QUOTE]
