[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 4535"] And do we know that the Angus cattle with the smaller ribeyes of 30 years ago would qualify as CAB at a higher rate? I don't know that. There's more to CAB than just marbling, YG is important, too. I would guess we get better YGs on Angus cattle today than 30 years ago. Some producers who have paid attention to EPDs and have a strong Angus influence in their herd, or straightbred Angus, qualify for CAB at a much higher rate than the 20% average. It's for sure that not all Angus will marble, but carcass EPDs should help identify those that don't. I based my comments on the recent MARC data released.
