You can see my web page here at cattletoday - Circle Red S I have a section on the testing we have done on Pinzgauer cattle. You can also check out
http://www.bovigensolutions.com they are the US rep for GeneSTAR.
I believe this testing is valuable and have sold a couple of bulls because of their test. The industry is changing to where quality is more important than weight. One private branded beef lable that guarentees tender meat is geting over $50 per pound for tender loin and cant keep it in stock.
$50 per pound??????WOW!!!!!!!!!! You can Buy CAB for much less than that and it will have Flavor plus tenderness.
you say that cab is available for less please tell what you know about cab such as any black hide qualifies as cab.
all cab really defines is beef the word certified has no merit as the animals that are allowed to be sold under the cab program carry no documentatioin as being angus.
second do your research there is very few purebred angus herds from thirty years ago. angus have been upbread with all breeds. if the american angus association has dna records on bulls from 30 years ago. you would find this out.
so that leaves b for beef. the cab program has one letter with a dual meaning that is the letter b {b for beef} {or b for bs.]
where does the c for certified come in how are these animals certified.
a for angus where is the proff of them being angus. a black hide does not constitute being sold as cab. theycould be holsteinor simmetal or numerous breeds.
the cab program is like a runaway train there is no documentation as to where these animals are produced or what their true genetic makeup is. its a shame the logo {cab} doenst contain the letters f or j because then it could be defined as what it is a FARCE a JOKE perpertrated on the american consumer.
