OUR FIFTH BLOGIVERSARY
She wondered, What would we talk about? Who would write it? But most importantly… who would READ it?!
We’ve come a long way in the last half-decade, and we’re thankful for the many readers we’ve gained. This year, we had almost 25,000 page views. That’s almost 5,000 more than 2013 and almost 10,000 more than in 2011.
We reach out to you, the quality-focused cattleman, in a lot of ways: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, in print and on radio. But this blog remains one of the best ways to get you more details than social media allows — and the fastest way to preview our in-depth stories to come in print.
So in honor of our milestone, here are the top five posts from our fifth year in the blogosphere:
5-Functional, successful, profitable
4-Following the calves: A success story in the making
And the No. 1 most-read post of 2015 was… Following the Calves: Everything Evert
Which post was your favorite? What types of posts would you like to see more of in 2016? Let us know. We’re here for you.

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.
Protecting Brand Integrity
Protecting the brand’s integrity has been a core pillar since 1978. Integrity is so foundational that the brand was built around the premise: with integrity, nothing else matters, and without it, nothing else matters.
