[QUOTE="SBMF 2015, post: 1808432, member: 39695"] That sounds good in theory but it’s not necessarily true. I used to manage a feed lot that fed a lot of F1 Char x angus. Roughly 50% of our inventory was smokey. They would grade as well or higher than the angus. And yet we had more than one packer tell us that if we wouldn’t make a semi load 80% or more blk hided they wouldn’t bid on them. 75% blk hided, choice 3 or better used to be kind of the standard. I’ve had USDA graders tell me that if they are not getting enough CAB cattle on a certain day the standards get more lax so they can still get their quota. Remember CAB carcasses are worth more than non CAB, but it’s pretty darn hard to prove what color they were when they’re hanging in the cooler. A choice 3 is a choice 3, CAB or not. [/QUOTE]
