[QUOTE="Katpau, post: 1808706, member: 9933"] Caustic Bruno What you are saying is that CAB has not hurt your market. That is good. Good cattle bring a good price no matter the color. I think too many people use CAB as an excuse when they get less than others for their cattle. You also mentioned in a prior post that cattle only need to be 51% black. I don't know how that rumor started, but it is incorrect. The rule is; "Cattle must have a predominantly black hide, with no other color behind the shoulder, above the flanks, or breaking the midline, excluding the tail.", so if a Holstein had the muscling of a beef breed and no white anywhere but her head and tail, she would qualify to be judged for CAB. She would then need to meet all of the quality standards, and if she passed and a packer puts the CAB label on the meat, then the AAA through CAB gets $2 per pound. It seems to me like a good thing for CAB. [/QUOTE]
