K-Stater interns with CAB
by Sarah Moyer
Sarah Moyer, Emporia, Kan., joined the Certified Angus Beef ® brand’s Producer Communications team as an intern this summer at the brand’s headquarters in Wooster, Ohio. The senior in ag communications at Kansas State University (K-State) aims to improve her writing by sharing stories of high-quality beef producers.
Working with the CAB writing team across the country, Moyer creates technical news releases, columns, features on brand partners, posts for the Black Ink ® blog (www.cabcattle.com) and video scripts. Interviews include ranchers with registered Angus bulls, culinary chefs and other partners in the beef cattle community.
Writing for The Agriculturalist and The Collegian at K-State, and special projects with High Plains Journal, have prepared Moyer to bring experience and enthusiasm to her work. Broadcast experience from K-State Research and Extension’s “Agriculture Today” radio program also helps. As for knowing about beef, her parents run a cattle backgrounding operation in the Kansas Flint Hills, where she grew up an active 4-H’er.
Certified Angus Beef LLC, a nonprofit company owned by members of the American Angus Association, adds value to Angus cattle through specification-based premium beef. Now in its 40th year, the brand and its 19,000 licensed partners market more than a billion pounds annually in 50 countries.

Brand Production Beyond Borders
Domestic or international, the objective has remained clear over the years: to access additional CAB® carcasses to support growing domestic and international demand, without compromising product quality and consistency, brand integrity, and value to Association members.
Not From Your Pocket
When Angus ranchers ask how CAB is funded, the answer isn’t dollars out of their pocket. No portion of American Angus Association® membership dues or fees for cattle registrations or transfers goes toward the brand’s budget. As a not-for-profit company, our revenue is generated through packer commissions.
Protecting Brand Integrity
Protecting the brand’s integrity has been a core pillar since 1978. Integrity is so foundational that the brand was built around the premise: with integrity, nothing else matters, and without it, nothing else matters.
