[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 4518"] "A pen only has to be 51% black to qualify CAB or am I wrong." An individual animal qualifes as CAB, not a penful. The animal must be 51% black, minimal hump, no dairy, to be considered for CAB. The he must meet quality and yield grade standards to actually be certified as CAB. Cattle known to be half Angus consistently qualify at a higher rate than generic black cattle. As for yield, weaning weight, you should look at good Angus. If you can get an ABS, Select Sires, etc. catalog, look at the WW and yearling weights on the Angus bulls. You'll see that Angus bulls compare very well with any breed. The latest MARC research shows that Angus cattle were the only British breed to have ribeyes comparable to the Continental breeds.
