Created for Cattlemen
Respect is the foundation that cattle producers and consumers find common ground. Cattlemen and women respect the consumer’s need for high-quality beef raised right. Consumers want to know that producers are invested in the best care for their livestock. Both want the same thing – respect for the animal and for each other. And you both want to be heard. Learn how to have a voice that brings everyone to the table.

CAB carcass certification rates unsurprisingly mirror the contrast seen in the grading data. While carcasses must meet all 10 specifications, the importance of the marbling specification in brand acceptance lends the trend to follow regional grade tendencies.
