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
Slow Slaughter Impacts
Cattle supply is certainly not the issue, rather, it’s a COVID-induced absenteeism issue in many of the country’s packing plants. Packing plants experience increased worker absence, resulting in much smaller slaughter totals so far in January 2022.
Carcass Premium Structure Advanced in 2021
Cattle and beef market dynamics in the past year were nothing if not volatile, and in some ways, unprecedented. Supply chain imbalances and processing sector issues have been the focal point of beef price inflation in the past two years.
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.

Quality down the tracks
In an industry that sometimes resists change, the Collins men embrace it, like, for instance, when they decided to transition from complete phenotypic to a combination of genetic and phenotypic selection.
