Curiosity Changed the Beef Industry

Dr. Del Miles built a career on asking better questions to inform smarter decisions. Throughout his career, he challenged assumptions, advanced science-based management and helped cattle feeders prevent problems before they started. His influence reaches beyond feedyards, shaping the way veterinarians, researchers and cattlemen think about herd health.

Eye on the Target

Regardless of a producer’s goal, each genetic decision takes you a step closer or further from achieving it. Targeting the Brand is a tool for cattlemen pursuing quality gains, helping commercial producers know and best leverage the value of their Angus cattle on sale day.

Defining the Margins of Quality

Driven by genetic selection and improved management, carcass quality has advanced significantly, most notably through more marbling. Yet, with nearly two-thirds of Angus-type carcasses falling short of brand standards, understanding why is critical to balance the economic incentives of added weight against CAB® product size and consistency requirements.

New Faces Around the Office

Interns join the Certified Angus Beef team in Ohio for the summer. As valued members of the team, interns contribute to high-impact projects, collaborate across departments, and immerse themselves in CAB’s culture and office community.

Brand Production Beyond Borders

Domestic or international, the objective has remained clear over the years: to access additional CAB® carcasses to support growing domestic and international demand, without compromising product quality and consistency, brand integrity, and value to Association members.

Not From Your Pocket

When Angus ranchers ask how CAB is funded, the answer isn’t dollars out of their pocket. No portion of American Angus Association® membership dues or fees for cattle registrations or transfers goes toward the brand’s budget. As a not-for-profit company, our revenue is generated through packer commissions.

Seasonal Carcass Impacts

An overriding theme across the past 18 months in the beef sector has been increased carcass weights. In general, fed steer and heifer carcasses averaging 25-30 lb. heavier year over year has been a net positive for the industry.

Cattle, grain and carcass price signals mixed

The beef industry finds itself in another odd position as market values are adjusting swiftly. Feed grains continue to react to global supply-and-demand dynamics with a bias toward even higher corn and soybean futures prices.

Looking ahead to marketing spring calves

The shift away from larger availability of yearlings to the new crop of spring 2020 calf-fed cattle is beginning. This is the early stage of this seasonal trend, with more to come as April progresses.
