[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 6403"] The CAB program is the responsibility of the American Angus Association. Indirectly, it is the responsibility of each and every member of the American Angus Association. What is an association other than a collection of members? Yes, it is the also the responsibility of each person that sells cattle through the CAB program to only present verifiable angus animals for CAB inspection. In reality, what is taking place is a convenient little "turn a blind eye to what is happening" pass the buck situation. NO ONE takes any responsibility whether they know what the cattle are or not. The inspector says, "as far as I knew, they were Angus" , feedlot and packer say the same. The association says that the inspectors are in charge of making sure the animals are angus. Ultimately, the responsibility is that of the Angus Association. The real problem is that they are too money hungry and gutless to live up to their responsibilities. And I feel the same about each and every Angus Association member that turns their back on this well known fraud and keeps allowing it to happen. If you believe that less and less cattle of non-angus breeds are going to be sold through CAB in the future, then you have your head stuck deep in the sand. The real crime (and make no mistake, I believe it is criminal to keep perpetuating this deception on consumers) is that it is so very simple to remedy. All the Angus Association has to do is require that any CAB animal has one registered Angus parent. Don't worry it won't happen. I stand by what I have written. It is the responsibility of the American Angus Association to "clean up their act" but they are too money hungry and gutless to act. As far as Angus breeders are concerned, if the shoe fits wear it. You don't have to answer to me, only to your own conscious. I have no more to say about this matter. [/QUOTE]
