[QUOTE="Katpau, post: 1808711, member: 9933"] It is obvious that the "black" qualification was put in back in 1978 because this program was originally funded by the American Angus Association. I see nothing wrong with that. The fact that it has caused many other breeds to go black, means it was successful beyond anyone's expectations. I don't know why people complain about CAB. CAB doesn't make anyone pay more for a black calf. That is the choice of the buyer. I assume buyers must find those calves more profitable, perhaps because of the marketing provided by CAB. Or perhaps they find those calves are more likely to grow and grade better. CAB is a business, and an obviously profitable one. Your choice is to find a way to successfully market what you have or to join an already successful program. Perhaps some day there will be a program with all of the requirements except color, that could be equally successful. I'm afraid most meat from the cattle of the people complaining about CAB, would not qualify for that program either. I have a straight Angus herd, but I don't know that my cattle would qualify on the rail. I have found it too difficult to find many of the traits I desire in Angus cattle when I look at bulls with a high marbling EPD. That is one of the things I like about the Angus breed. There is a great amount of diversity within the breed just because of the number of different breeders. There is something for almost everyone. (as long as you are okay with solid black;)) [/QUOTE]
