Big Thinkers
The Cattle Contribution
Rotationally grazing cattle is one of the best ways to manage the Prairie Pothole Region for waterfowl, for other ground nesting birds, for the general public, and for ranchers themselves, says Tanner Gue, a Ducks Unlimited biologist.
Focus Under the Hide
From the bulls they buy, the cows they cull and the grass their cattle graze, each decision is evaluated based on how it affects the ranch’s economics, the land and family. This management style earned the Niznik family the Certified Angus Beef 2021 Canadian Commitment to Excellence award.
Following the numbers
Diversification proved to be key in evolving the ranch. What began as an Angus-based commercial herd, the trio took signals from the data and sought new avenues for revenue. The Woolfolk men have a target: creating more high-quality, profitable cattle. As for how to get there? They’ll continue to follow the numbers.

VanStavern’s legacy as helper
Bobby VanStavern was a mover and shaker for the CAB® brand. His love for quality Angus beef and people is evident in his many outstanding accomplishments. He leaves a lasting legacy with the brand and everyone he worked with.
Angus producers, brand protectors
Angus producers help identify CAB product in retail stores and restaurants, ensuring the brand is correctly represented. With 19 trademarks in nearly 100 countries, monitoring every use of the brand is a difficult task. Producers across the country help ease that responsibility by sending concerns to the CAB team.
The Code
Compound interest is the concept of making small investments over time add up. Depositing in the “trust bank” will keep the beef industry strong long term. This is our second installment of the quarterly “At the Table” column, authored by Nicole Erceg.
