CAB Insider
Trends Entrenched
Certified Angus Beef ® brand supply trends will continue to see the push and pull of cattle management responding to tight cattle supplies. Estimates for this year’s corn crop suggest an exceptionally large yield, continuing downward price pressure. This, coupled with freshly printed record replacement feeder cattle prices, will work to entrench the modern feedyard motivation to push days on feed to new heights with carcass weights following along to new records.
North to South Weights and Grade
CAB carcass certification rates unsurprisingly mirror the contrast seen in the grading data. While carcasses must meet all 10 specifications, the importance of the marbling specification in brand acceptance lends the trend to follow regional grade tendencies.

Success Stories
Building Bonds
A dozen members of the Meijer communications team arrived to experience, first hand, how the beef they sell in their stores is raised. They touched and felt and tasted and smelled every aspect of the cattle business from the delicious flavor of Certified Angus Beef ® ribeyes to the slippery sensation of you-know-what on their shoes. Questions of every nature were asked and answered by true cattlemen and champions for CAB, Bruce, Scott and Andrew Foster.
Making It Better
Most sane folks don’t choose to go into business with Mother Nature. She’s a fickle and unpredictable partner. So, how did two people with zero agricultural background, no generational land, wealth or genetics carve a profitable partnership with her in Southwest Kansas? By focusing on progress and a desire to leave things better than they found them – which also earned them the CAB Sustainability Award.
Excellence by Everyday Improvement
The cattle business awards no trophies for participation. Nor does any rancher plan and work each day in hopes of wider recognition for doing things right. Yet caring for their land and livestock with a daily devotion to “excellence in practice” quietly switched a spotlight on JPM Farms. Jean-Paul and Marlene Monvoisin with their adult children, Colton Monvoisin and Josee Monvoisin-Garner, operate the quality-focused seedstock Angus ranch in the rolling hills near Parkbeg, Saskatchewan.
