The first Lucky Dice that we had (and one of the only 2 ever)....hard pull and didn't see any BLACK until the calf was out to just past the front shoulders...thought that the heifer was bred Charolais!
The white color does intrigue many people. We had a Macho out of a Duff bred donor last year that had white up to nearly his knees on all 4 legs, a full white belly, and a white face with goggle eyes. He was in the chute with the knife ready last spring and couldn't make myself cut him; he was just two good of a calf. Decided to take a chance and put him on the sale. When the catalogs came out, the first 3 phone calls were on him. Ending up having over 20 phone calls on him from across the country. He also ended up being the 3rd high selling bull on our sale...matter of fact, all 3 of our top sellers had some white on their back feet. Something that I try to stay away from, but it doesn't bother others at all, in fact it intrigues some.
These spots are a little extreme, but the good ones will sell well, even with white legs and bellies.
