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.

Apply by April 1 for Colvin Scholarship

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.

Working in Balance

Cattlemen have a responsibility to look critically at their own herd, determine the areas that warrant improvement, and select animals accordingly. Stockmen bring immense value by objectively evaluating phenotypes, regardless of what the numbers say, and setting individual breeding objectives.

From Decline to Dominance

Initiated from a simple yet visionary idea, and pursued through the grit and tenacity of Angus breeders seeking a better future for the breed and Association members, it’s no accident that Certified Angus Beef is where it is today.

Simply innovative

If there’s an easier way to home-grill the best steaks – and the search continues at Greeley’s Colorado Premium Beef, which brought Truly Simple™ to market this year – it’s hard to imagine. But it’s easy to see why the concept featuring the Certified Angus Beef ® (CAB®) brand just won honors: First Place in Refrigerated & Frozen Foods magazine “Top 5 Best New Retail Products” contest.

Consumer trends, more than fads

Trends in the food business affect people far beyond restaurant diners and retail shoppers. They reach back to the farm and ranch to shape the way food is produced, keeping consumer demand for high-quality, sustainable beef top of mind in the country.

New post at CAB seeks ever-better brand

A branded beef program that owns no cattle or beef still takes an active interest in both. That can be hard to explain, but it’s a key to understanding and improving the Certified Angus Beef ® (CAB®) brand, says Clint Walenciak, director of packing for the Ohio-based subsidiary of the American Angus Association.

Consumer trends headline beef conference

“The prosperity of this entire industry lies with the consumer.” Ag economist Ted Schroeder made that statement during the recent Beef Improvement Federation meetings in Manhattan, Kan., June 15-17, but it summed up the theme of the opening session.

Breakaway demand for a premium beef brand

The 2016 cattle market has disappointed many sellers, especially those only focused on more pounds or efficiency. Quality has played an increasingly key role since the “Great Recession” in 2008, and it promises the most stability going forward says CattleFax analyst Lance Zimmerman. Six years ago as a graduate student at Kansas State University, he and economist Ted Schroeder created a demand model that stretched back to 2002.

Beef shoppers: quality, service above price

Price is important in nearly every buying decision. However, when it comes to groceries, a new study shows consumers place more value on quality and service than price alone. The doctoral research by Ken Wicker through Capella University’s School of Business is titled, “A study of customer value and loyalty in the supermarket industry.”

Quality Soaring Higher

Increased Prime carcass production is a boon to sales growth in this category for both Certified Angus Beef and the industry as a whole. A smaller Prime cutout premium above Choice also means greater adoption of this premium product tier by grocers and restaurants. All of the above lead to a firmer foothold for beef as the protein of choice for consumers.
