So CBA is kind of between a higher-end Choice and lower-end Prime?


No. CBA indicates the breed of the cattle. That breed typically has more marbling than others, but it can still frequently grade out at select or choice.

That is incorrect, to be CAB (certified angus beef) one of the requirements is that it has to be Choice or better

Actually, you’re both right... CBA requires that the cows hide is over 50% black, which guarantees it has Angus genetics, but it has to grade in the upper 2/3rd of Choice marbling scores.

An Agus cow can be select grade, but to be “Certified Angus Beef” it has to be on the upper end of the choice grading scale.

If it’s branded as CAB, it’s usually a pretty good peoce of beef. But again, what it looks like visually is important as well
