Building Bridges for Better Beef
As the clock ticked past 2:00 a.m., handshakes finally signaled a deal. History was made that Thanksgiving morning in 1997 when a group of producers bought a material interest in what was then Farmland National Beef Packing Company.
When ‘Someday’ Becomes Today
Just a few years ago, Ranch Covey Hill showed no signs of an Angus destiny. It was a country estate in disrepair as owners stopped coming out from Montreal in the summers. The Chenails had been looking for land, a place where they could build a herd. They saw potential. That continual pursuit of the best and finding the right people to help caught the attention of the world’s premium beef brand.
A Drop of Hope, A Heap of Hard Work
For Manny and Corina Encinias’ family of nine, sustainability runs deep. They are stewards of a legacy, working the land dating back to 1777, when the first generation began herding sheep in the nearby Moriarty community. Today they focus on cows well suited to the harsh New Mexico desert, fostering community strength and creating opportunities for others to follow in their footsteps.

Ana Luisa Verba is looking to drive demand for quality beef as the assistant director of marketing for Latin markets. By drawing on her own heritage, she is able to personally relate to the Latino community and create marketing materials that resonate to this group.

The barn painting initiative started as a public relations project, but it quickly turned into more than brand logos scattered throughout the country. Sheltering Generations – The American Barn features 40 dedicated Angus producers, and all proceeds from book sales go toward the CAB Rural Relief Fund, aiding ranch families during natural disasters.
