Is Kobe beef illegal in the US?

True Kobe beef from Japan is illegal to bring into the U.S, since 2002. Prior to 2002 some of the Kobe beef cattle from Japan were brought to America, and cross bred with American Angus cattle, and they have produced what is referred to as American Kobe beef. It is still considered by far the most premium form of beef in America, but it is not considered equal to the Japanese Kobe beef.


When was the Certified Angus Beef program formed?

The Certified Angus Beef (CAB) program is where cattle producers can get a premium for raising and selling Angus cattle, or cattle that are black with some Angus breeding in them, for beef. It's also a marketing initiative to get more consumers to buy more beef that is labelled as "certified Angus" due to the implied higher quality and consistency this type of beef would have over non-CAB-labelled beef. Unfortunately, it's all marketing, and not all beef that gets this label is from purebred Angus cattle.

What is the best feed to give to beef cattle?

WHAT beef cattle?? I mean, what type of beef cattle are you referring to? Dry pregnant cows? Bred heifers? Weaned heifers? Dry open cows? Lactating cows? Mature bulls? Young, growing bulls? Weaned steers? Stocker steers/heifers? Backgrounding steers/heifers? Finisher steers? Finisher heifers? What breed are they? Are you on a grass-fed only operation or a mixed operation or an operation where you are having your cattle in a drylot 24/7/365? PLEASE be more specific, because the possibilities are endless. Oh, and what about your location? The different feeds that are available for one location is different for another. You can feed your cattle a variety of feeds from range cubes/pellets to rolled oats, cracked corn, wheat, barley, triticale, etc., or even grass, hay and/or silage (barley, oats, grass-mix, corn). There is NO best feed to feed beef cattle, especially when you haven't defined WHAT TYPE of beef cattle you are referring to! Some operations may prefer to have their animals on grass only, with a little treat of alfalfa or range cubes to keep them friendly and to get them to move from one pasture another. Other operations are in a winter where they need to feed hay (grass only, grass-legume mix or pure legume) and/or silage, and choose to or not to feed a little grain once a day or every second day. Other operations require their cattle (NO MATTER what type) in a drylot for 24/7/365 and need to feed them a whole mix of feeds, from a grain mixture to hay and silage. Please talk with local farmers and ranchers and visit your local county extension agent to see what your options are for the "best feeds" to feed your beef cattle.
