Premium beef brand shatters sales records
Records are made to be broken.

The Certified Angus Beef ® brand logged several divisional and monthly records along the way.
Enough, but not too much
A decade ago, distillers grains were not common feedstuffs. Today they’re routinely included in cattle finishing diets, at levels that can boost beef quality grades.

A lot of little things done well
White Land & Cattle Company treats all the little things like big ones. Gary White manages the family-owned feedlot that has been in business near Lexington, Neb., for 35 years. Its 2,500-head capacity is the perfect size to focus on all the details, White says.

Cattle feeding conditions vary by location. One yard might be knee-deep in snow, while the other is dealing with piles of mud. Record high temperatures might cause heat stress in one area while cattle in another region are enduring torrential rainfall.
Colvin portrait hung in Saddle & Sirloin Gallery
The portrait of Louis M. “Mick” Colvin has entered the hallowed halls of the Saddle & Sirloin Gallery in Louisville, Ky. More than 230 of Colvin’s family and friends gathered Sunday, Nov. 15 for the dinner and unveiling at the Kentucky Fair and Exposition Center, where the gallery has been located since 1977. Before that time, it was housed in the Chicago Stock Yards beginning in 1903.
