[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1781273, member: 24816"] In a sense yes, a lot of breeds have lost their identity, along with Angus, all of the black hided breeds are just a bunch of commercial black cattle once you get away from specifically being able to identify them by their respective registries. The dna thing with CAB will likely never happen. There is already an Angus Source program from the AAA so something like that could easily be implemented if selling Angus bulls and identifying Angus genetics in CAB destined calves. From what I understand there is more demand for the CAB product than actual source verified Angus calves can fulfill, so logically speaking you’re not going to take steps to loose market share and run the risk of exposing the reality that a significant number of those calves are half or less, and maybe even very little if any Angus. As for the prices of cattle without the various Angus branded products, the reality that nobody is talking about is that every thing is being degraded price wise because of imports. Imports are the reason our prices are lower. If we had a program like COOL where we could actually know where our beef is coming from like other products then that would help create a USA specific market across the board. That is the reason I support CAB is that it is an actual product of USA. [/QUOTE]
