[QUOTE="OLF, post: 679198, member: 9761"] It doesn't bother me terribly, personally. I like his conformation and if I liked his genotype, performance, production and carcass traits, I would use him. BUT, in New England (Northeast US), when selling perebred Herefords dark red brings a higher price and less white (red necks and red legs) brings a higher price. I'm not saying it's right, but it's what this market wants. If you've seen my pictures, I obviously have plenty of white in my herd. White seems to follow the other traits which are important to me. If I can produce Herefords with low birthweight, good carcass, good structure and good performance, that also are dark red and have little white, that would be ideal. My goal is to produce a great steak, but I also have to give my customers what they want. Color is low on my priority list, but I do want to have marketable cattle. [/QUOTE]
