Leading the Way
Do you know a cattleman who is committed to excellence?
Each year CAB chooses producers who have been nominated from the seedstock, commercial and feedlot sectors to be awarded at its annual conference in the fall. The chosen award winners are innovative and excel in areas of genetics, management practices, marketing strategies, customer service and overall CAB acceptance rate.
Applications for Beef Leaders Institute are open
The Beef Leaders Institute (BLI) provides American Angus Association members a unique opportunity to experience the beef value chain from pasture-to-plate. Hosted by the American Angus Association and sponsored by the Certified Angus Beef ® brand and the Angus Foundation, the tour takes participants on a five-day expedition starting at the Association. Then hit the road to learn about new technology in the industry and what happens to your feeder calves once they leave your operation.

Sheltering Generations
The American Barn
Across America, on your farms and ranches the barn is the heart of the operation. That’s why we traveled across the country to #BrandTheBarn for our 40th anniversary last year. Forty barns to be exact.
Wonderful families with incredible stories worth sharing. That’s why we returned to these barns. We are excited to offer our new coffee table book: Sheltering Generations. It is filled with agricultural legacies, beautiful photography and heartfelt stories.

IN THE NEWS
Capturing value for your calves
The way we market cattle trickles down to the cow-calf producer and how they choose to sell calves. Consumer dollars favor adding value to the end product, and it pays to start down that road while still on the ranch by retaining ownership.
New book release benefits ranchers
There are 40 stories included in the coffee table book: Sheltering Generations—The American Barn. Beef producers in more than 20 states, ranch life, rural community and the role of barns in our landscape. Proceeds benefit the Rural Relief Fund.
Prime opportunities highlight CAB outlook
When sales are up across the board, it’s often hard to find a darling of the fiscal year. But for the Certified Angus Beef® brand, even in a strong year, CAB Prime stole the show, said the brand’s president, John Stika. “We could have sold a lot more of this product if it were available, but it wasn’t.”
