Built For the Long Haul

Thirty-one inches of rain in 48 hours tested Biltmore Estate’s 130-year commitment to remain a profitable, working agricultural estate. Through Hurricane Helene recovery and high-quality Angus genetics, Biltmore stewards its land, livestock and community, earning the 2026 CAB Sustainability Award.

Jett Stream to Prime

In the Oklahoma Panhandle, four generations built a herd defined not by the odds against it, but by standards never lowered.

Nebraska Feedyard Recognized for Excellence

Motivation starts the feed truck before sunrise, keeps going through adversity and drives pursuit of the next goal. It has more than fueled daily routines for Terry Beller. It’s helped his family and crew build the multigenerational Beller Feedlot into one long-known for customer service and high-quality beef.

The Capstone Approach to Modern Cattle Feeding

Taking aim without a target is like fishing without bait. It just doesn’t work. The cattle market lures with premiums for targets hit, but the bar keeps rising. Getting better in this dynamic setting takes detailed feedback. Capstone Beef provides that to its commercial customers with report cards that track progress and reveal needed change.

Certified Angus Beef Takes Fine Dining to New Heights to Connect with Consumers

“High Steaks” is about sharing the transformative power of food and the idea that different culinary experiences can take consumers on a journey to different destinations.

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.

Cutout Values Responsive to Conditions

Two weeks ago fed steer prices reached a new record fueled by strong demand and restricted headcounts. But we knew there was a seasonal ceiling and it lasted only as quickly as one can say “seasonal trend.” Paul shares more insights in this CAB Insider.

Marbling Resilient, Premiums Tempered

The northern quality grade is only materially slipping as compared to the quality-rich years of 2020 and 2021. Exceptional quality premiums are not a theme in this record-high fed cattle market but above average cattle have never been a liability.
