ASSOCIATION UPDATE
LEAD IN  by Richard Spader, executive vice president,
The industry still needs more marbling in carcasses, according to the audit, [National Beef Quality Audit (NBQA)]. While there where more Choice and Prime carcasses, there remains a great need for well-marbled beef.
As chairman of the 2000 NBQA, Bob Kerschen summarized, 
The beef industry should be pleased with our progress, but commitment to quality is something that never ends. There's still a need to deliver higher quality products in the future.

That commitment to quality is first and foremost with the American Angus Association. The genetics that you as seedstock producers supply to the commercial industry are the genetics that supply a meal in the future. It's a big responsibility and one I know you don't take lightly.
