[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 6142"] The requirements for CAB and Nolan Ryan are quite different. CAB is looking for Average Choice or better. Nolan Ryan wants the Select grade. An animal can't qualify as both. And CAB limits Brahman influence by the size of the hump on the animal. So some Beefmasters would work, but some won't. I heard a rep from Nolan Ryan speak last year and he says they will use any animal of any breed if it meets their specs. They are working on building a supply chain to eventually use only Beefmasters, but they aren't there yet (or they weren't last year). > The Nolan Ryan Certified Tender > Aged Beef is a Beefmaster BREED > based program.
