For our domestic and international foodservice and retail partners, the beef business looks much different than it did at the start of this year, so we had much to cover during our first-ever virtual CAB annual conference. More than 1,100 people tuned in to get energized and empowered to sell more high-quality beef in this new environment.
Add value to calves
“Value” in feeder calf marketing is a relative term. All calves have some and the trick is to capture your share, said Paul Dykstra. Success is rooted in your customers he said. Customer changes through the supply chain from feeder, to packer to consumer.
M&M Feeders wins CAB honors
M&M Feeders does business based on honesty. The Huyser family lives by that code, and runs their cattle feeding business the same way. For building beneficial relationships and their drive to produce the best, M&M Feeders earned the 2020 Feedyard Commitment to Excellence Award from the Certified Angus Beef ® brand.
Rutan family earns CAB Commercial Commitment to Excellence Award
The owner-managers of Morgan Ranches learn and teach through such wisdom gathered over decades. Every day is a choice, and they choose to make it good. That positive philosophy only begins to tell why Morgan Ranches earned the 2020 CAB Commercial Commitment to Excellence award.
CAB names first-ever Sustainability Award honoree
One feeds, the other breeds and stocks a steady supply, ready to fill the pens as they empty. Wilson Cattle Company harvests the grass in Baker Valley while Beef Northwest, started by the fifth generation of Wilsons, finishes the cattle. It’s a symbiotic relationship, both dependent on each other.
Langford earns CAB Ambassador Award
Bodey Langford has it easier and harder than the three generations of ranchers before him, but his gentle and steady spirit guides him while telling the cattle story to all he encounters. It’s only an inkling of why he’s the 2020 CAB Ambassador Award recipient.

Prime premiums double last year
Lately the Prime grade has slipped down to 8.3% of the total, versus 9.5% a year ago. The reduced slaughter pace, combined with this lower Prime share, has prices heated up for the most premium quality grade.

Givers and Takers

Permission to straightbreed
But year after year, our team visits intelligent, strategic-minded ranchers who are not only making money with straight Angus, but who are making more money with a single breed.
Good people, good cattle, good beef
Family, ranching and good quality cattle are all high on Travis Loehding’s priority list. A few weeks ago, I visited the Loehding ranch near Ekalaka, Mont., where they do not lack family history.
