[QUOTE="Brandonm22, post: 738194, member: 7645"] As Frankie pointed out we already did THAT. Until sometime around ~1978 (guessing on that date) what we call low Choice was actually graded as high Good (we also changed the name from Good to Select to increase demand) because all those European oxen everybody we was importing from Europe couldn't grade Choice, thus the percentage of cattle grading choice was dropping as a result. That is when Angus pitched a fit about the grade change and formed CAB using the old Choice requirements. Interestingly the nation's cattle at the time, were a lot smaller than what we have now so since the change we have actually INCREASED days on feed and final kill weights substantially. The funny thing is that Angus by itself has become a descriptive beef term. Now we even have beef branded as 'Angus Select'. [/QUOTE]
