[QUOTE="Chris H, post: 239290, member: 1974"] We have a friend who feeds our his own steers which are black, and some of our steers which are herefords. He had a small group ready to go and had the buyer come out to give a bid. The buyer quoted a price for the blacks, then a price a few cents lower for the herefords. Our friend said, look at those herfs again. There's not a bit of difference under the hide of those animals. The buyer reluctantly agreed and raised the bid on the herfs to match the blacks. Why do buyers bid lower on Herefords? Because they can. All it means is more dollars in the pocket of the buyer & packer. [/QUOTE]
