[QUOTE="Frankie, post: 96111, member: 13"] Some are jealous because Angus cattle outsell any other breed in most sales across the country. I haven't seen any Angus breeders bashing. I see several defending the breed against your bashing. LOL! When you run out of facts (not that you ever had any), insult someone. That's typical for a breed basher when he gets faced with the truth. :lol: :lol: Your ignorance knows no bounds. When Continental cattle came into the US they basically took over the beef industry. Producers were selling pounds of beef and packers loved to get more pounds from one animal. But the amount of Choice beef dropped because Continental cattle didn't marble as well as British cattle. So the packers and Continental breeders encouraged the USDA to [b]lower[/b] the grading standards. The Angus Association objected, but they changed the standards anyway, and that's when CAB was born. The Angus Association believed consumers would pay for quality beef. There are a lot of black cattle that don't meet CAB specs. What's the big deal? We can't move forward if we don't know where we are. And you're wrong again: beef from practically any feedlot can be certified as CAB. No, it's a sad state of affairs when someone as uninformed as you comes on a cattle board and makes a fool of himself just because he is jealous of the success of a particular breed. It tells us something about your character. Surely you aren't already second guessing your large investment in the Piedmontese breed? You can believe all you want, but CAB is still the top selling branded beef program in the world. Sales have been hurt by the closing of the Japanese market, but, hopefully, that will open up this year and it will really take off again. Obviously you don't pay much attention to buffalo. They've made a comeback the last decade. Ted Turner has a chain of burger joints selling his buffalo burgers. He owns thousands of them, as do many other people. I'll not waste my time trying to convince you of anything. Everyone should do their own research and make their own decisions. As you can tell when you drive down the roads, most have chosen Angus. Every animal of any breed produces some hamburger. That's a fact of life. You are embarrasing in your lack of knowledge. If he's selling this beef to customers based on this guy's grading, there can be financial and legal problems if the grader lied. You know, like Montana Range Beef had financial and legal problems? :lol: Except for the minor fact that there is probably more documentation on Angus performance (good and bad) than any other breed out there. Your vicious hatred of the breed undercuts any point you might have been trying to make. You're making the claim; you show the proof that Angus have Chi and holstein influence. Every cow on my place the daughter, granddaughter and great granddaughter of a bull that has been blood tested or dna tested. All you have to do is go to your local sale barn and watch cattle sell.
