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.

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.

Quality beef production is on everyone’s mind today. Consumers want the best and most consistent beef for their money. Maybe that’s why strong exports and premium U.S. markets for upper Choice and Prime beef brands have helped lead cattle to record high prices.

Where’s the premium?

High percentage Angus calves continue to outsell non-Angus calves of similar weight and frame at livestock auctions across the U.S. Data collected from eight cooperating markets in fall 2010 reveal steers of that breed brought $6.32 per hundredweight (/cwt.) more than their non-Angus counterparts.That’s a $32.58/head Angus advantage for the average 516-pound (lb.) steer.

He tracks USDA grading trends and harvest numbers in his weekly column, Rearview Mirror on Quality.
