It's about reaching an Average Choice or Better quality grade. Not commodity Choice. And what makes you think lawsuits haven't already been filed against CAB and won? Actually the name of the program is "Certified Angus Beef Brand." Not just Certified Angus Beef. Everyone is entitled to an opinion. Do you think every part in a Ford truck is built by Ford? Or that Sears actually builds refrigerators? The CAB program has always accepted the black hide as proof of Angus influence. You don't like that, OK, don't like it. But I doubt it will make any difference in CAB sales. And it sure doesn't bother this Angus breeder.
