Let the CAB Cattle Crew keep you up to date on what’s happening in the beef community. We’ll share industry insights to help you maximize your profit potential.

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.

Backed by the latest science and industry expertise, BQA provides practical guidance to help protect cattle well-being, beef quality and producer investment.

Certified Angus Beef Launches New Podcast

The CAB Bite podcast answers burning questions about the brand. In 20 minutes or less, listeners will get an extra “bite” of news, insights and practical takeaways. The short-form podcast aims to give the beef community an up-close, behind-the-scenes look at CAB and its supply chain.

Protecting Brand Integrity

Protecting the brand’s integrity has been a core pillar since 1978. Integrity is so foundational that the brand was built around the premise: with integrity, nothing else matters, and without it, nothing else matters.

Sysco Highlights the Value of Beef Quality Assurance

The commitment to cattle care and continuous improvement is also reflected in the Raised with Respect™ program, a partnership between CAB and Sysco, now in its third year. The initiative helps expand awareness of BQA principles while supporting educational resources for ranchers and additional collaboration across universities, extension systems and industry partners.

We focused on fourth-quarter middle meat demand as a beef price driver in the last edition of the Insider. This is certainly the case in the current data as rib and tenderloins are pricing near their annual highs. However, a look at annual price trends across the beef carcass shows increasing contributions to CAB premiums from both ends of the carcass.
