is specifically Black Angus beef. When it first came out I was very surprised. So when I went down to NW IA, SW MN and SD I started to count the farms that were raising Black Angus cattle. Between the Worthington MN area and Souix Falls I saw 5 farms. Not enough to provide all the fast food restaurants and grocery stores with what they are all claiming to have.

While some claims may be correct. I still doubt that all of them are.
