[QUOTE="Dylan Biggs, post: 793629, member: 14282"] [url]http://www.cabpartners.com/news/media.php[/url] Below is a quote from the above CAB link. Please read carefully. "How does the certification process work? Cattle undergo two evaluations before becoming CAB brand: Step one: Live evaluation – Employees at licensed processing plants are approved by CAB and monitored by the USDA Agricultural Marketing Service to identify [b]predominantly black cattle (at least 51 percent of the hair coat is black) [/b]or AngusSource® enrolled cattle. Typically half of the cattle entering licensed packing plants, meet the live specification and are eligible for further evaluation. Carcasses from these are marked with an "A" stamp to maintain identity throughout processing." End of Quote. The words in bold lead me to believe that to qualify CAB an animal must have a predominantly black hide, that is, at least 51% black. The remaining 49% hide color is not specified. If I understand correctly a Holstein with a predominantly black hide whose carcass meets the CAB grading specs can qualify CAB. Am I reading this correctly? Must be a misprint, surely Certified "Angus" Beef must have an all black hide, surely! :???: [/QUOTE]
