Producer nominations sought for Angus award
Certified Angus Beef LLC (CAB) is searching for producers who use Angus genetics to raise the quality beef bar. Each year the company seeks nominations for two Annual Conference awards that honor producers for an enduring commitment to finding superior Angus genetics that enhance carcass traits. “We celebrate those moments when producers excel and show the way for others,” says Larry Corah, CAB vice president. “So every year, we recognize one commercial and one seedstock producer who use every means in striving toward the ideal, from genetic selection to coordinated management and marketing.”

Managing for beef quality isn’t an arbitrary end-product objective, panelists pointed out at a Cattlemen’s College® session.

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. Chris Calkins, University of Nebraska meat scientist, says when “wet distillers grains plus solubles” (WDGS) are fed at moderate levels, marbling scores increase.
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.
