[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 41415"] Txshowmom, You were almost correct. For cattle to first off [b]qualify[/b] for the CAB program they need to be at least 51% black hided. That's it. No proof of breed %. Cattle to qualify can be 100% Black Angus or it can be 0% Black Angus. But some (4 out of 30 plus) Black Angus programs require genetic proof. Then once the carcass is hanging then they determine whether it is stamped CAB or not. When the program started about 30 years ago the predominate black cattle were Black Angus. And those now that have black cattle (Simm, Salers, Black Chianina, Maine Anjou, ect)may have put a little Angus in there to start with, but with this many years gone by some will have little to no Black Angus in the lineage. Old country Fullbloods verses American Purebreds in some instances. Now they are doing genetic testing and they are finding that 47% of non Angus cattle fit the CAB program. [/QUOTE]
