[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 6510"] CAB has been the most successful branded beef program in the US. But it's taken it almost 30 years to become as successful as it is today. There were some "lean" years for the program and the Angus Assn. I think beef production is going to be more consumer-driven in the future than it has been in the past. So it will be up to consumers to decide what sort of beef they want to eat, Lauras Lean, Nolan Ryan's tenderized, CAB, and are willing to pay for. And it will be up to breeders of various breeds to "build" cattle that will meet the consumer's demands. The preferred beef of consumers in the US (probably the world) is US grainfed Choice beef. And there is not enough of it most of the year. The Choice to Select spread is currently about $16 cwt. That's what drives Angus acceptance, the belief that they will feed efficiently and grade higher than other breeds. Today 60% of the cattle herds in the US have some Angus influence. The Angus Assn. expects that to increase to 80% during the next 10 years. I think it's going to happen in Canada, too. Whether the other breeds stay around or not will depend on how they fit into the market or crossbreed with Angus. Crossbreeding is an important tool for the commercial cattleman, but consistency is very important to the consumer.
