Certified Angus Beef Launches New Podcast
By Certified Angus Beef
April 8, 2026
Ever wondered how Certified Angus Beef (CAB) got its start—or how the brand continues to drive demand for Angus genetics today? The CAB Bite podcast will answer those questions and more. In 20 minutes or less, listeners will get an extra “bite” of news, insights and practical takeaways. The podcast launched in April, with the first three episodes now available.
Podcast host, and CAB director of producer communications, Lindsay Graber Runft welcomes guests from the brand and across the beef community to talk about all things CAB and high-quality beef production.
New episodes will be launched on an ad hoc basis, as part of the brand’s growing communications efforts to connect cattle producers with valuable news and information. The short-form podcast aims to give the beef community an up-close, behind-the-scenes look at CAB and its supply chain.
CAB president, John Stika and American Angus Association® chief executive officer, Mark McCully, are among the first podcast guests, with podcast topics covering the brand’s inception, CAB’s live animal specification and international production in Uruguay.
The CAB Bite podcast can be found at www.cabcattle.com/podcast and on all major podcast platforms.

Promising Quality in Angus
Before Certified Angus Beef, consumers didn’t know what “Angus” meant. Angus meant little, except to its breeders. A strict adherence to quality through its 10 carcass specifications continues to serve as the foundation for maintaining the breed’s premium beef position in the marketplace and drives demand for registered Angus genetics.

The production agriculture, undergraduate and graduate scholarship categories each have tailored requirements. In 2025, the Colvin Scholarship Fund supported 27 students with awards ranging from $2,000 to $7,500.
The Angus Argument
There’s no denying CAB has helped dramatically expand the market share for registered Angus genetics. Arguably, that success has encouraged several other breeds to adopt a black hide color by incorporating registered Angus genetics into their breeding programs and registries.
