Big Thinkers
Angus done different
A passion and an entrepreneurial spirit started CK Cattle in Alabama. The Madaris’s were chasing a fantasy but now support three households through their Angus seedstock business.
Of cattle care and human flourishing
Dr. Bob Smith, or “Doc Bob,” is the kind of man that looks to others’ success before his own. One that endeavors to be a life-long learner and shares that knowledge with anyone it’ll help. He’s also our 2021 Industry Achievement Award recipient.
Where value comes from
How cattle are fed matters, but much of their potential for grid success is already set before cattle even set hoof in the yard. Cow-calf producers are the designers of the raw material.
Consumer Connection
A beacon born from a broken path
Doubts flooded in when the young couple decided to open a restaurant in the 1930s. Today, Okeechobee Steakhouse stands as the oldest of its kind in Florida. Known for their commitment to serving quality Certified Angus Beef®, third-generation owner, Ralph Lewis is appreciative of the cattle raisers who supply CAB product.
‘Plum’ good beef
Chef Brett Sawyer wasn’t going to serve beef in his restaurant – it was too expensive, and he didn’t want to compete with other Cleveland steakhouses. Walking into the establishment, you wouldn’t expect to find a steak on the menu, let alone beef navel as a signature dish. The sleek, black façade meets rustic brick to match the rest of the block. Large oak doors with shimmering, gold letters on the window pane read “The Plum.”
Putting the best to the test
With one twist, a burner flicks on. With one cut of marbled meat, flavor agrees to allow no compromise. And with one Certified Angus Beef ® (CAB®) brand Test Kitchen, original beef dishes show their potential to become new family favorites.
