[QUOTE="WFfarm, post: 1606931, member: 39155"] At a recent local feeder sale I notice some full Hereford calves came thru and they sold for considerably less than other black or crossbred stock, like 20-30 cents less. They weren't very many of them but a couple were in nice condition and I was surprised by the low price. I would have cried if they were mine. Solid red calves did not get discounted. Maybe it's a regional thing, but does anyone have any idea why this is? I know there is the marketing push of for Certified Angus and people are looking for the black hide, but does it make as much difference at the butcher. Is there something in the breed that the feeder and packers are not liking about Herefords, like too heavy bone ratio or they have smaller ribeyes? Just curious if it's just a marketing or preference thing. [/QUOTE]
