[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1776485, member: 40587"] Not getting docked at all. Why the hell would a buyer pay the same for hereford steer as an Angus, when it wonpt bring what the Angus brought at the processors. ANd the provv cessor damned sure aint gonna pay the same for a Heref9ord as the Angus, because Kroger, Longhorns, tec xas Roadhouse, Walmart , etc, is not going to give them the same for the meat as they do the CAB. CAB certification is done by USDA inspectors at the time the steer is killed and hung up to be gutted, his ear cut off, then skinned etc. The USDA inspectors certify the whole carcass. I suppose one [I]could [/I]try to stamp a Charolais carcass CAB, but why the hell would he risk his government job to do that? Or the plant risk getting shut down by the USDA for that? Again , these cows are not docked..,the black ones that buyers feel may achieve CAB status will bring a premium...a bonus...above what they will pay for the top steers that wont be CAB. and hey, sometimes a black one won't get CAB after it goes to the processor maybe due to marbling or one of the other 10 requirements CAB requires. If you want your calves to bring what the Angus calves bring then switch to Angus. Or at least Angus bulls. This was the whole intent behind the whole CAB program to start with.. a marketing strategy to get Here ford, Simm, or whaatever breeders to use angus bulls. If someone is in love with red breeds...think the Charolais is the greatest thing since sliced bread or peanut butter, then don't get all butt hurt when a buyer won't give you what he does for a black calf, when he knows good and well your calves will not attain the CAB premium at the processor.
