[QUOTE="simme, post: 1790913, member: 40418"] The AAA sets the requirements for CAB. After all, it is [B]their [/B]marketing program, and they make the rules for their program. The USDA inspectors just certify compliance of individual animals with those rules. The article quoted says "[I]The [B]association [/B][/I](RAAA)[I] completed negotiations with the [B]U.S. Department of Agriculture[/B] in late 2021 which resulted in the USDA allowing the breed [/I](RA) [I]to be included in Angus-labeled branded beef programs [B]such as[/B] Certified Angus Beef." [/I] As Jeanne pointed out, this is an agreement between USDA and RAA that red angus are angus. The statement in the article is a little misleading (maybe on purpose), but the key is the "[B]such as[/B]". [B]Such as[/B] but not [B]including [/B]is probably more accurate. The red angus and the simmental associations have partnered on some programs over the years. Maybe they need to have a RAB (Real Angus Beef) program with criteria that includes the quality requirements from CAB but removes the majority black requirement. The consumer mainly recognizes the angus word anyway which would still be in the RAB logo. Of course, the present CAB cattle would still qualify for the RAB program so that keeps the numbers up. May be an opportunity there. DNA not needed for either program since being angus is not a requirement for either. [/QUOTE]
