only reason for dairy cross with beef is for embryo transfer because the cows milk good. As for the Certified angus beef the traits are

1 Modest or higher marbling
2 Medium or fine marbling texture
3 "A" maturity for each, lean and skeletal characteristics
4 10 to 16 square inch ribeye area
5 Less than 1,000 pound hot carcass weight
6 Less than 1 inch fat thickness
7 Superior muscling (eliminates dairy influence)
8 Practically free of capillary rupture
9 No dark cutters
10 No neck hump exceeding 2 inches

the 1000 pound carcass rule does apply and considering most cattle cut 65% that is about a 1550 pound live animal around here that is pretty large framed. The holstien crosses will usually not meet the marbeling requirments for CAB
