[QUOTE="cbcr, post: 825386, member: 16303"] Angus Source cattle MUST be sired by a registered angus bull either via Natural Service or thru AI. This is an American Angus Association program to promote the breed. Certified Angus Beef, on the otherhand is an extremely well marketing method. CAB is supposed to be able to include the acceptance of Red Angus genetics (they are Angus too). But if based on visual alone, 51% black hide is all that is looked at. (or is it?) I don't know if things have changed any or not, but I think it 2 or 3 years ago, some group DNA tested some CAB meat and the result was that only 17% of the meat traced to Angus genetics. I have had feedlots tell me that they have had Belgian Blue, Hereford and other mixtures of cattle come back as being CAB. One big factor is that last report there was less that 4% of the cattle slaughtered that are age and source verified. But yet, how many of our Foreign buyers only want cattle with age and source information? Other countries are being more progressive about programs than the US, they are seeking better marketing for their beef products. [/QUOTE]
