[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1808709, member: 40587"] I am sure of that. I saw Chi-Angus for the 1st time in 1975 at UGA. When was it..the 80's...when the Angus [I]went to a 2000# animal from 1000# animals overnight? [/I]I am sure there were some Chi-Angus registered as Angus back then. But still, there is a lot more Angus in the Continental breeds that "went black", than there is Chianina blood in Angus today. True. But the wonderful thing is, CAB still gets paid a 2% per pound commission on CAB certified carcasses. I love it! The developers of these programs for certified Angus were brilliant! Actually,. most all do make CAB. A Brangus calf will bring more than a comparable Braford, Gert, BM or black Simbrah will . Brangus breeders not only admit it, but MARKET the fact that Brangus and Brangus cross will qualify for CAB. Only thing that wouldn't , would be possibly an an F1 Br x Ang ( or other black cow) that had a neck hump exceeding 2 inches in height. That was the intent of the CAB, and the marketing strategy of AAA. To get people with other kinds of cows, to use Angus bulls. And for people to buy Angus cows to breed other-breed bulls to.; It was the not-so-bright breeders of the other breeds, that have turned them into Angus crosses. and diluted the genetics that made their breeds great. A purebred 70's Simmental cow..Fleckvieh..crossed with an Angus bull would yield a far superior calf...tons more hybrid vigor, than the "pure" black Simms of today. It doesn't matter that there aren't enough Angus to fill the orders ,because there are plenty of black cattle to do so. And, CAB makes the same amount of money on a carcass with almost NO Angus blood in it. They aren't being [I]told[/I] they are getting a premium, they are[I] seeing it[/I] on their sale barn checks. Why in the world would anyone want this premium to stop? Even if you are a person that...for some reason.... [I]hates[/I] a black cow, why would anyone begrudge someone else getting paid a little more for their calves? [/QUOTE]
