[QUOTE="Frankie, post: 27099, member: 13"] In large beef packing plants they have separate CAB lines. Cattle that qualify for CAB by phenotype are branded with, I think, an A (might be a C) and then they go down a CAB line. From removing the hide to fabrication, they are handled seperately from other beef. If the graders decide they don't qualify for CAB, they're shifted over to the commodity beef lines. I'm having a hard time understanding how you can be using either Angus bulls or Angus cows and your calves don't have any black "whatsoever." What is the other half of the combination? From the USDA site: "3. QUALITY ASSURANCE PROVISIONS 3.1 Genotype. Compliance with genotypic requirements shall be determined and controlled through a Livestock and Seed Division approved quality management program. 3.2 Phenotype. Three options are available to ensure that live animals comply with the specified requirements. They are (1) continuous USDA supervision, (2) ante-mortem lot inspection, and (3) program monitoring. Under the first two options USDA personnel shall certify that the animals meet the specified requirements prior to slaughter. Procedures for these two options shall be developed on an individual plant basis and shall be approved by the local Meat Grading and Certification Branch (MGCB) area office. Under option 3, the procedures described in 3.2.1 shall be followed."
