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.

Promising Quality in Angus

Before Certified Angus Beef, consumers didn’t know what “Angus” meant. Angus meant little, except to its breeders. A strict adherence to quality through its 10 carcass specifications continues to serve as the foundation for maintaining the breed’s premium beef position in the marketplace and drives demand for registered Angus genetics.

The production agriculture, undergraduate and graduate scholarship categories each have tailored requirements. In 2025, the Colvin Scholarship Fund supported 27 students with awards ranging from $2,000 to $7,500.

The Angus Argument

There’s no denying CAB has helped dramatically expand the market share for registered Angus genetics. Arguably, that success has encouraged several other breeds to adopt a black hide color by incorporating registered Angus genetics into their breeding programs and registries.

Working in Balance

Cattlemen have a responsibility to look critically at their own herd, determine the areas that warrant improvement, and select animals accordingly. Stockmen bring immense value by objectively evaluating phenotypes, regardless of what the numbers say, and setting individual breeding objectives.

From Decline to Dominance

Initiated from a simple yet visionary idea, and pursued through the grit and tenacity of Angus breeders seeking a better future for the breed and Association members, it’s no accident that Certified Angus Beef is where it is today.

Healthier Soils and Stronger Herds

Effective land stewardship requires an understanding of how each decision affects forage growth, cattle performance and long-term stocking rates. When land is the foundation of the business, producers are more likely to invest time and resources into managing it intentionally.

Aiming for Excellence

Using the Targeting the Brand™ logo in sale catalogs helps commercial cattlemen and seedstock producers advance their herds and orient them toward more CAB qualifiers. To earn the logo, registered Angus cattle must have a minimum Marbling EPD of +0.65 and a +55 $G. This makes it easy to identify bulls with added carcass value, and potentially more dollars for your bottom line.
