Wyoming K-Stater joins CAB team for summer
By Steve Suther
The Kansas State University (K-State) senior in ag communications and journalism as well as animal sciences and industry works from her home base in Sheridan, Wyo., with the CAB team of journalists in Kansas, Nebraska and Florida.
Johlman credits her passion for the agriculture and cattle community to her grandfather and uncle, who attended K-State veterinary school. As an active 4-H member, she saw the need for industry advocacy and after working on ranches in Nevada, Montana and Wyoming, Johlman’s choice to be that advocate led her also to K-State.
There, she’s a member of Agricultural Communicators of Tomorrow and Block & Bridle, and has interned at the Kansas Department of Agriculture.
CAB was founded in 1978 and is based in Wooster, Ohio, where Johlman attended a young leaders’ seminar last winter. She learned about the brand’s mission of adding value to Angus cattle by providing consumers with a great eating experience.
The first and largest premium beef brand, CAB stimulates demand that incentivizes producers to raise the highest quality beef – some 2.5 million pounds sold each day around the world.

Eye on the Target
Regardless of a producer’s goal, each genetic decision takes you a step closer or further from achieving it. Targeting the Brand is a tool for cattlemen pursuing quality gains, helping commercial producers know and best leverage the value of their Angus cattle on sale day.
Defining the Margins of Quality
Driven by genetic selection and improved management, carcass quality has advanced significantly, most notably through more marbling. Yet, with nearly two-thirds of Angus-type carcasses falling short of brand standards, understanding why is critical to balance the economic incentives of added weight against CAB® product size and consistency requirements.
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.
