[QUOTE="sstterry, post: 1759719, member: 28912"] Plus CAB has a govt certification for the "black hide". I just looked up the requirements again and "Choice" grade qualifies for CAB. Here are the requirements as of 2017. [URL]https://www.ams.usda.gov/sites/default/files/media/G1CertifiedAngusBeef.pdf[/URL] [URL]https://www.ams.usda.gov/sites/default/files/media/AAALiveAnimalSpecification.pdf[/URL] Note the requirement for phenotype: "Cattle eligible for certification in Angus influence beef programs based on phenotype (appearance) will have a main body that must be solid black, with no other color behind the shoulder, [I]above the flanks, or breaking the midline behind the shoulders, excluding the tail." [/I] That leaves a lot of room for other colors. [/QUOTE]
