Together as One
Part of my role at CAB is to work closely with the farmers and ranchers who spend their Mondays through Fridays, their weekends, their holidays, their lives raising the cattle that supply the Certified Angus Beef ® brand. I talk with them, learn from them, celebrate with them and share their stories with anyone interested in listening.
From California to Florida and every state in between, I meet families who come from different backgrounds and traditions, yet all share the same deep-rooted passion, love and commitment for raising quality cattle.
So whether it’s the Russells in Texas,
the Encinias clan in New Mexico,
the Greenes in Louisiana,
the Atterholts in Ohio,
or the Freels in Florida,
we say thank you. Together you bring lessons learned and knowledge gained to be a part of something we’re all committed to, something that crosses state lines and impacts all.
