Dashboard Highlights Premiums and Discounts
In early August, USDA turned on a new internet dashboard tool providing user-friendly access to more detailed fed cattle pricing information. Using data already captured by the agency through Livestock Mandatory Reporting (LMR), the dashboard takes a big step in improving user access and utility of the data.
Don’t Fade the Trend
The Choice-Select price spread has long been held as the industry’s barometer for the differential in consumer demand for high-quality, well-marbled beef and the leaner counterpart consisting of only slight degrees of marbling. However, using the current Choice carcass premium to Select as a gauge for consumer demand is misleading.

Another billion in the books
Global sales of 1.175 billion pounds. In a year like we’ve all had, we welcome a fiscal year that ends on that note. For the first time in 16 years, CAB reports lower annual pounds sold.

Everybody wins
Two decades ago, the Certified Angus Beef ® brand created an internship for its new Industry Information—now Producer Communications—Division. It started as a way to get more done while providing opportunities for ag journalism students.
Success Stories
The price is right
The Steib family has expanded their farm and feedlot operation into a dynamic ranch. Today, they raise the calves they eventually feed out, having a hand in quality decisions every step of the way.
From chaos to dream ranch
Raising cattle had been a dream for the Idaho couple from the start of their marriage, even though neither had prior ranching experience. After years of dedication and faith in each other, the Brown family now operates a large cow-calf operation focusing on quality Angus genetics.
Proven but still improving
The Miller family has invested time, technology and the study of expected progeny differences into their cattle. The result? Quality Angus genetics that consistently come on top and premiums that end up in the hands of the farmers.
