I'll play devils advocate here-- You talk about developing one quality/type of uniform cattle/beef-- What uniform type will that be?

I hate Lauras Lean type beef-- Give me a steak with heavy marbling and chunks of juicy fat hanging off it...At least has some flavor.... I can name you many of the steakhouses in the state that serve "Prime or Choice" only-- cause thats the place I'll go to and spend extra to get something good to eat when I'm out of town....

If the "chickenized" beef industry decides the Lauras Lean type is what they want to sell- that leaves out a section of the population/consumers...

I think there is a place for many types of beef- and all of it is available in the good old USA- and could be promoted as such if we had a way to identify it (like M-COOL)...Get folks to liking/preferring this before Tyson/Soros/Texas Feeders get their beef coming in....But it has to be labeled and it has to be promoted as "Raised in USA BEEF"... To do otherways is to just give up and let those import folks have free run....
