[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1781333, member: 40587"] The "official USDA opinion", Scooter, is whatever each of the 85 certified angus programs say it is, on red Angus, is adhered to. Or Purple Watusi or any other cattle. The developers of a program..certified Angus, certified double yolk eggs, certified Wooly Hogs, whatever. draws up the parameters of the requirements for that program, and submits these to USDA, who then writes the guidelines for the packers and the USDA inspectors to follow. This idiot said " [I]Until red and white cattle are stamped with the CAB certification, based on their carcass quality and not the color of their hair[/I]," THAT won't happen. You want ever get USDA inspectors to stamp[I] farm raised catfish[/I] as [I]wild-caught salmon[/I], either. Even IF some of the inspectorsmay prefer castish//like me//to salmon. The USAD has no say so what so ever what a breed marketing program can or can not support. The USDA takes no position on whether any of the certified angus programs can or can not exclude red angus. That PROGRAM decides that. Some do allow red Angus and some don't. What the USDA DOES do, is monitor the inspectors at processing plants, to make sure carcasses that are stamped eligible any of the Angus programs,. meet the rules and requirements that particular PROGRAM set.
