As usual YOU miss the point. He went to the same guy for .25 a lb less than his mates, and because he is BLACK hided he will go to CAB just like the others. My point is it's just an excuse to cheat the rancher. Funny part of this deal is they are at most 25% angus but being blk hided they will pass.
As far as me buying him your moronic sarcasm is always appreciated, and ocassionally even admired.
What sarcasm? I may be the moron, but you're usually the one left holding the short end of the stick in these discussions. :lol: Why?
:???: Because you never do your homework, so one more time, I'll set you straight. BLACK HIDED has nothing to do with CAB. The animal must be 51%
solid black. So, no, even if he meets the pretty tough criteria for the program, he won't go CAB. I don't think the word HIDE is in the CAB specs.
Most of us are price takers, not price setters. Your friend now knows roan cattle might be discounted. Whether or not he choses to do anything about it is his decision.
Then there's this:

Yep. And all of it's true. And not from the Angus Assn.
The calf did not have a white hair forward of his navel and very little behind it. You know that kind of calf is gonna pass. When the packers have to start kicking back a premium for calves like that that they buy for nothing and then sell as CAB then I will concede your point until then it's just theft no matter how you slice it.
If it's a
roan, as you said, then no, it's not going to pass. READ THE SPECIFICATIONS. How can you expect anyone to take you seriously when you not only don't know what your talking about, but apparently don't even care to know! When the information is right there at a link put in front of you? Sad, sad, sad.

As far as who's holding the wrong end of the stick. As long as the only vote that counts is yours, and YOU have the power of the LOCK then you are Queen.
You started this by calling me out, now you're making excuses because you AGAIN don't have facts straight.
It seems to me that you want to blow and go about Angus and CAB, then it ruffles your feathers when I point out that you don't know what you're talking about.
Your buddy might claim he was robbed this year, but if he keeps that cow and she's bred back the same way, he doesn't have much grounds to complain, IMO.
