Larry Corah and Mark McCully, authors of the latest study for CAB.. reported the five primary factors they believe are contributing to the decline Quality Grades:
1. Health Problems
2. Feeding by-products
3. Large Feedlots lowering production
4. Indaquate nutrition
5. Impant Usage
More Contributors.. or "other contributing Factors"
1. Genetic Influence
2. early weaning
3. Grain-based creep
4. scared cattle
5. high levels of vitamin A
6. Fewer heifer slaughtered
7. Cattle are older at slaughter
8. More Rideye muscle-less marbling.
OK. so the feed yards are feeding the cattle wrong, to many people are using bad genetics, Ribeyes are getting to large and marbling is getting desceased, Cattle are getting older at slaughter because angus can't mature as early at the proper weight... People all of the sudden are using implants that are not helping ... Cattle are all of the sudden not as calm..
CAB lets blame everyone else, if 80% of the cattle in the Us are angus.. then 50% of those or 40% are bad Genetics for america... this report is saying.. Also Health problems,, give me a break.. Face it, your leading the carcass chase with a name,, now after 10 years your finding out that all your promotions is bringing the industry down and it's time to "right the wrong" and "tell everyone how to raise cattle" It's a JOKE!!
