About the brand & Consumer Connection

U.S. retail stores sold more than 245 million pounds (lb.) of fully cooked beef last year. That might sound good until you read all of that Power of Meat survey: retailers sold seven times more ready-to-eat chicken.

Angus Convention & Cattle Markets & Consumer Connection & EPDs & News Release

What’s relevant today isn’t necessarily so tomorrow. Investing in the future pushes everybody forward. That was the motivating think piece Mark McCully shared with cattlemen as part of the National Angus Convention’s opening session Saturday, Nov. 3, in Columbus, Ohio. As farmers and ranchers attended breakouts designed to make their own herds better, McCully’s point held its weight. Anything that could make it above the Select line was once considered “on target” for satisfying consumer demand.
