[QUOTE="bull56, post: 196887, member: 3329"] lakading, I think you may have missed the point when I wrote about the chevy. The CAB is the same way. The people bought cars that had Chevrolet on the front, back, books, all labels, etc. But what was under the hood, while it was a GM product, was not what the people had purchased. The Certified ANGUS Beef is kind of the same thing. The label says Certified ANGUS Beef. True, it would have to be at least 50% angus (Angus X Hereford = Black Baldie with 50% Angus influence), I think that this is fine because if qualifies. The big complaint that everyone is having is when there is no Angus influence (Black Simmental X Hereford, Balck Gelbvieh X Hereford; Black Maine Anjou X Hereford) where is the ANGUS in those black baldie cattle) Not an ouce of Angus blood. Black hair only. To the unsuspecting consumer, and most urban americans don't know Angus from Jersey, if they buy a product according to what is on the label, they would expect the product inside to be what is on the label. Look at Pork and Beans, when you buy a can of them you expect there to be pork in it, and thankfully there is that 1/2 inch square peice of pork in it that does qualify it to be PORK and beans. An Angus breeder should be proud that their breed has a program that is very successful. What they should be upset and demand is that the product should be ANGUS influenced gentically as well. If they look at it from the standpoint that what ever percent that qualifies for CAB that has absolutely no Angus influence in it, then they are not receiving all the premium that they should be on their cattle. The Angus people are taking credit for anything that has a black hair coat even if it has no ANGUS breeding in it. That ain't right. [/QUOTE]
