[QUOTE="Bez!, post: 196255, member: 2830"] Interesting comment Dun. Certified Shepherd Guard Dogs - the Cocker Spaniel may meet ALL of the requirements, but it is NOT a Shepherd. So if the cow meets the standard - must be a black hided and have certain whatevers to make the grade - it can be certified as CAB. Somewhat like being "a little bit pregnant". I for one will likely be called envious - in fact I am not - we sell all our red and white animals out the front gate at a premium now - but the fact remains - at least to me: CAB could be realistically called a false advertiser. If I chose to be harsh I could say that CAB program is a bold faced lie and should be forced to live up to the three words - CERTIFIED ANGUS BEEF. It either IS or it ISN't Angus. While there are serious arguments that can be made to support CAB - no one in his / her right mind would willingly stand up and categorically state ONLY Anugus beef get to be CAB. It simply is not true. Perhaps that is why there are those who scorn certain programs - due to their potential and indeed probable dishonesty. It is my belief that CAB is actually hurting the industry as a whole due to this - black is better - the almighty dollar has created a monster that will change the look of various breeds of cattle forever and not necessarily for the better. The public - most of the time does not really care - hence the ability to propogate this phenomenon called CAB. The Angus org should be glad of this - lawsuits can become expensive. Bez! [/QUOTE]
