[QUOTE="Travlr, post: 1742465, member: 42463"] The Law of Unintended Consequences really shows in the Certified Black Angus program. Yes, it was intended to sell bulls... but the effects have gone far beyond that. Genetic lack of diversity across the entire industry as breeds scramble to get black... and an unfair advantage at point of sale for cattle intended for slaughter. The thing I can't figure out is why buyers and packers have bought into it. Personally, I see it as a great opportunity for a class action lawsuit. Buyers are paying less for red/white animals they KNOW will grade as high as any black hide and will end up in a cellophane wrapped package with a CAB label on it. Everyone raising superior cattle-not-black have a real problem and it's hurting the entire industry. The consumer is too ignorant to understand what is going on and they don't really care anyways. The buyers and packers have a responsibility and are getting away with murder. [/QUOTE]
