This all depends on where you are located and the time of year. If you are in the states, in some areas black calves and black-baldy calves will bring a higher price than red, red-baldy or yellow-baldy calves. But other areas will have red and red-white-face calves bringing more than the blacks, like up in Canada.
FYI, the black calves are primarily of the following breeds or mixes thereof:
- Angus
- Simmental
- Gelbvieh
- Maine Anjou
- Limousin
- Salers
- Brangus
- Chiangus
Black-baldy calves could be of the following:
- AngusXHereford
- AngusXSimmental
- Black SimmentalXHereford
- LimousinXHereford
- SimmentalXLimousin (black factor)
- Maine AnjouXHereford
- Maine AnjouXSimmental
- et al.
Red calves are primarily these breeds:
- Red Angus
- Simmental
- Gelbvieh
- Limousin
- Salers
- Maine Anjou
- Red Poll
- Devon
- South Devon
- Red Brangus
- Beefmaster
- Shorthorn red-factor
- Blonde d'Aquitaine
- et al.
Red-baldies are thus:
- Red AngusXHereford
- Simmental
- Red AngusXSimmental
- LimmousinXHereford
- SimmentalXHereford
- Red BrangusXHereford
- Hereford
- GelbviehXHereford
- ShorthornXHereford
- Maine AnjouXHereford
- et al.

How can a farmer choose which cattle to buy?
Well, a farmer or cattleman or cattle producer first has to look at the goals he or she has in mind, and how buildings and fences are set up around the farm. Does the producer want to background cattle, or have a breeding herd? Does the farmer want to contract-graze cattle or raise them in a feedlot environment? If it's a breeding herd, then he/she has to analyze and research what breed or breeds they would like to raise. "Are Angus better than Herefords?" "Should I go with a more less common breed like Galloway or British White?" "What breed would do best in my area if I were to raise them with as minimal of management as possible?" What to feed and how to feed is also crucial to determining what type of herd of cattle to raise. Grass-fed or grain-fed? Pasture or drylot? Location, seasons, and environment are also note-worthy in determining what cattle to purchase. And don't forget the size of the farm and the stocking rate for that farm. One should also weigh the advantages and disadvantages of raising different types and breeds of cattle. Background vs. Cow-calf: Purebred vs. Commercial, Background vs. Feedlot, etc. Once all the pros and cons and analyzing of that producer's farm has been made complete, only then can they decide which cattle to buy for their farm.
