[QUOTE="Gelbvieh 5, post: 795572, member: 8325"] How is it irrational nonsense to say that CAB is, was, and always will be a marketing program. The definition of marketing is to promote a product or service and increase sales. The AAA did just that, they took a fairly loose set of criteria and made it sound like something new and exciting. Then they started promoting it. By the way Kudos to them for coming up with that idea. Near as I can tell they didn't discover a hidden bloodline within the existing Angus cattle of the time and breed it pure to this day so that CAB comes only from one particular strain of Angus. they just took what they had and wrapped it up in a nice package and convinced America that they had reinvented the wheel. All of which is just fine. Truth be told CAB is a Brand not a breed. The simple fact that there is no genetic testing to prove that it is all Angus makes CAB an oxymoron, since it can easily contain any number of combinations of "black" cattle in the genetic makeup of a given CAB steak. So I ask you Ga Prime what part of that is irrational nonsense? Please explain it to me. [/QUOTE]
