CAB Insider
Summer Turns Up with Grinds
Beef market veterans know the onset of summer brings on the “dog days of summer” for beef consumption trends. This means that middle meat steak items, perfect for grilling during spring holidays, begin to take a backseat.
Carcass Weights Up, Quality Grades Shift
Price spreads between quality grades are beginning to seasonally widen—as expected this time of year—but the magnitude of the spread movement is less pronounced than in recent years.
Behind the Brand
Come what may
Every year, farmers and ranchers somewhere get knocked down by natural disasters. But that often leaves people wondering: “How can we help?” The Certified Angus Beef ® brand created the Rural Relief Fund as a way to rally their community to provide support.
VanStavern remembered with meat science “mentorship”
Bobby “Dr. Bob” VanStavern is famous within our walls as the author of the Certified Angus Beef ® brand specifications, but perhaps his greatest contribution to the beef business was his influence on young meat scientists. To honor his role as mentor and support future students, the brand is funding an American Meat Science Association scholarship in his name.
