Behind the brand
Of all the Angus-identified cattle, only about 35% make the cut for the Certified Angus Beef ® brand. This news release covers our November webinar and details how those cattle get in, ways other cattle fall short, and what producers can do about it.
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.

CAB Insider
Prime sets sail
Since our September Insider report, the Prime grid premium has amazingly increased by an additional 50%. The latest $30.84/cwt. weighted average packer premium sets the record for the highest reported number in the report.
The Upside of Heavy Carcasses
Our analysis of several million head in 2019 and 2020 shows that increasing average carcass weights across each load lot returned a net benefit in carcasses qualifying for the CAB brand up to 900 lb.
Behind the Brand
Selling the best bulls? Serve the best beef
Some registered producers take advantage of the Certified Angus Beef ® brand “Licensee for a Day” program.
It’s all about the marbling, until it isn’t
Although we focus on marbling quite a lot, it’s only one of 10 Certified Angus Beef ® (CAB®) brand carcass specifications.
Quality and safety first
The Certified Angus Beef® brand goes beyond fresh beef to add value to high quality Angus cattle. Since its launch in 1978, demand for premium and further-processed items, like deli meats and frankfurters, has brought more value for producers and choices for consumers.
Success Stories
Setting the standard
As we followed the winding dirt road leading to Kirk Willoughby’s ranch, a cloud of dust crept over the hill.
Correlated traits
Ranchers who care about their cattle, the buyers of those cattle and the final beef consumers, also tend to be just some of the most genuine, welcoming and humble people you’ll ever meet.
Following the calves: A success story in the making
It’s become a running joke in the Evert family that ranches near Brady, Neb.: The first year Virginia was at the clipboard during preg-checking time, mysteriously all the wild cows came up “open.”
