CAB Producer Communications interns named
Learning doesn’t stop because school’s out for summer. You can only learn so much in a classroom, but in a pasture, feedyard, meats lab or chef’s kitchen—that’s a whole new story.
The impossible dream
Imagine an alternate American history line over the past 16 years, with just an incidental supply of “Angus” beef. There’s a Certified Angus Beef ® (CAB®) brand but it began to coast in 2002 and scaled back to maintain flat demand. The 30 other Angus programs at that time struggled to compete with commodity beef; most folded.
CAB Producer Communications team hires two
High-quality beef doesn’t happen by accident, but rather by careful planning and making informed decisions.
In a continued effort to arm cattlemen with the production and economic news they need to make those careful calculations, the Certified Angus Beef ® (CAB®) brand recently hired two agriculture journalists.
Morgan Marley and Abbie Burnett joined the team as producer communications specialists in May.
Colvin Scholarship winners named: $33,500 for beef community’s future
Six college students in beef and related studies have earned $33,500 in scholarships from the Certified Angus Beef ® (CAB®) brand.
In the long run
’Tis the season to think about parasites robbing your beef cow herd. The weather is finally warmer, the bugs and other little things are crawling all over. But what about those you can’t see?

There’s no doubt, cattle that earn the Certified Angus Beef ® (CAB®) brand or Prime grade also earn premiums. In 2017 alone, packers in a biannual survey reported paying cattle owners $75 million in grid premiums specifically for CAB.
