Thank You Mr D R CattlleD.R. Cattle":1fgpskgc said:Also Known as "Consumers Prefer It and Pay More For It." Any other argument against Angus is asinine.

James you should know that an animal does NOT have to be Angus to be labeled CAB. Also, the word certified has little meaning in this context. The only meaning of Certified for CAB is that some office guy thinks an animal may have more than 50% of his hide black. The B for beef is valid, as far as we know. It has never been proven that the CAB program adds small amounts of cheaper pork and extra beef fat to their hamburger.

Then when the time came and a began going to auctions I sat through dozens of them in disbelieve that anything balck was bringing a higher premium. Then I statred hearing nightmares about pinkeye, so I told myself that I would start with the Black Angus (Seemed simpler) and maybe someday get myself some herefords. For me it was basic economics. Now for the CAB program, how does one get involved in programs such as this inorder to keep the higher premiums ?

I may not agree that the crossed cattle can be registered but i understand what u are saying. But dont u think that even 1/4 angus or brangus animal could go through the ring and be given the same price that a registered angus gets. I just dont think that is legitimate. Just because its black shouldnt make it Angus or Brangus(CAB). But at the same time, i guess it would be hard to regulate the makeup of the individual animal. The simple fact is that quality is the main thing that all beef producers need to strive for; not color. There are tons of breeders out there trying to switch their herds over to the black versoin of thier breed. When what they should be worrying about is the conformation of the animals.
If a steer is PURPLE, but has alot of meat and a good quality and yeild grade, what should it matter??? Shouldnt the packer pay more for him?
