I'll need to stop in my local Sam's this week.
Like Ribdog's,our Costco just carries the 1.5 lb chunk of trimmed flat, the nice little old ladies make their Sunday pot roast from.
My long time meat managers,that used to order all of ours,had told me that the distribution centers were getting the same suspect product they were used to,but the company policy was to label it all Angus,with some kind of adjective tied to it.
The same old Excels at wallyworld now had angus as part of the description.
As BigMacs and everybody was marketing everything right down to weiners as some "kind of angus",it did require you to actually look at the meat.
Naturally,none of this had anything do do with the CAB,Certified Angus Beef,marketing program.
As we have discussed,signing up for a state,or regional angus program,could require as little as the cow[mama]having as little as 10% Angus and the bull could be all dairy,longhorn,or brahma.
Nothing like getting your next hotdog being a mix of chicken/soybeans/and a 20 yr old Lonhorn running the high plateau in the mountains of ol' Mexico.
