[QUOTE="J+ Cattle, post: 1704396, member: 4063"] The Angus Association has the "Targeting the Brand" program where you can market your registered Angus bulls with their logo if they meet the minimum EPD requirements of 0.65 marbling and 55.0 for $G. These minimum requirements are not necessarily needed if your using the bull on purebred or high percentage Angus cattle, it's more for the commercial producers that have a herd of high percentage continental breeds and/or brahma influenced cattle. I'm not sure if the minimum requirement would be enough for those Corrientes or not.;) I would agree that [I][B]most[/B][/I] purebred Angus cattle have adequate marbling to grade Choice if fed long enough, but I've also seen Angus bulls with a negative marbling EPD... If your goal is to consistently grade high Choice (CAB) or Prime then I would say you probably need to add more marbling EPD to your feeder cattle. [/QUOTE]
