9 President s Message Dear Angus Friends & Enthusiasts, I would like to take this time to thank all of those who have elected me to serve as your president this year. It is a great privilege for me to be able to represent the interests of Maryland Angus breeders and their families. I would like to thank all of the Board of Directors, but especially Melissa Schulze and Patsy Kerns. They go above and beyond their call of duty for this association proved to be yet another successful year for Maryland Angus breeders. The Junior Association continues to be extremely competitive at local, state, and nationals levels not only with cattle, but in many other contests as well. Our Annual Angus Event Sale proves to be a success and a wonderful opportunity for Maryland Breeders to market their genetics. Even the Maryland Angus Women s Club has seen a revival in the past 2 years with increased membership and participation in many activities and fundraisers. Although we are a small state, it is with great pride that I say we have strong Angus programs. We have many nationally competitive and recognized breeders and we have many people who have a very rich knowledge of Angus cattle, the beef industry, and the history of the Association right here in our home state! I look forward to working with everyone in the association over the next year. If there is anything I can do to serve you better please do not hesitate to bring any questions or concerns to me. I wish everyone a prosperous 2018 and look forward to reconnecting with old friends and making new ones in the coming year. Sincerely, Randall A. Stabler MEMBERSHIP DIRECTORY 9

11 Establishing Family Names THE NAMING OF ABERDEEN ANGUS CATTLE AND PERMANENT IDENTIFICATION By: Tom Burke, Kurt Schaff, and Jeremy Haag One of the important aspects of being a successful and noted breeder of Aberdeen Angus cattle is properly naming the cattle that you breed. The word family is not to be confused with the terms blood and bloodline. These latter denote an entire ancestral background. The family name is reached by tracing only the bottom (female line) of the pedigree which ultimately relates a particular female to a single cow recognized as the foundation animal of a particular family. Only the dam transmits the family name to the offspring. The bull assumes his mother s family name but does not pass it on. Any breeder may establish a family but, since the Herd Book kept by the American Aberdeen Angus Breeder s Association has been closed for many years, new families branch from established families. Whether a new family becomes important depends on the performance of the animals in it. This is purely a matter of public recognition as there is an official list of families. When the female line of an animal is traced back to the first cow registered in the Herd Book, it does not always include a cow commonly recognized as the founder of the family. Many family names have come into general circulation recently through the simple procedure of designating the first registered cow on the female side as the Foundation Cow and then naming all her modern descendants after her. Thus, breeders themselves establish the family tradition and maintain it on their own terms. One of the greatest satisfactions that can come to breeders is the discovery within their herd of a line of such truly superior producing females that they are able to establish a new family. THE NAMING OF ABERDEEN ANGUS Decide first upon your own exclusive PREFIX (as Blacktop Gammer) or SUFFIX (as Gammer of Blacktop). This suffix or prefix may be a wide range of choice; farm name, town name, breeder s name, or it may be any name found appealing. The best and recommend MEMBERSHIP DIRECTORY 11

12 ed way of naming your animal is establishing a name that is easily recognized, such as Blacktop, rather than BTF which is the abbreviation for Blacktop Farm. In a pedigree, initials are difficult for many breeders to relate to as the breeder of that animal. While both Blacktop and BTF are acceptable, Blacktop is much easier to relate to in a pedigree. Once you have established your prefix or suffix, stay with it in the naming of all your registered Aberdeen Angus cattle. It is best to hold to either the suffix or prefix and not use both. The purpose is to create a definite, ready achievement of a single herd and its breeder. Prefix tends to emphasize the advantage of bringing together in a single inclusive group all the animals from one farm, whenever they are listed alphabetically, as in a sale catalog or the American Angus Association Sire Summary. Firstly, what is this business of FAMILY NAME all about? Probably no phase of the breeding of registered Angus cattle has been as confusing to new breeders and to many long-time breeders as has the FAMILY NAME which has held a hallowed tradition by many for generations, and totally ignored by others. Actually, the basics are relatively simple and sensible, and the practice was instituted by most British breeds in their homeland. The procedure is exactly converse to what we humans have been using for the past 500 years or more. THE FEMALE CALF TAKES ITS FAMILY NAME FROM THE DAM BUT NOT FROM THE SIRE. A BULL CALF INHERITS HIS FAMILY NAME, BUT THAT SHOULD NOT BE PASSED ON TO HIS HEIFER CALVES. In the early days, the breed was developed by Master Breeders such as Messrs. HUGH WATSON of Keillor ( ) SIR GEORGE McPHERSON GRANT of Ballindalloch Castle ( ) and WILLIAM McCOMBIE of Tillyfour ( ). Some early historians give William McCombie credit for establishing the family system of naming but it was McPherson-Grant who carried through with the greatest accuracy during his lifetime. The system originated by the Master Breeders also allowed some variations by sometimes giving slightly different names to successive daughters, but retaining the first letter of the Family Name as a key for instance, if the foundation dam s family was GEORGINA, then her daughters might be named GERANA GIRALDA GYROSAL, etc., and still be recognized and remain in the defined GEORGINA Family. When importations to North America commenced, those came from numerous Scotch and U.K. herds far and beyond the reputation herds mentioned. Many imports therefore had not been defined with family names, and in fact many were only 1st or 2nd generation from first-registered females, therefore had no opportunity for a family name to have been established. Once in North America, those early day imports moved freely and rapidly to almost every point where there was grass to graze. Most of the serious minded breeders utilized the family name system procedure in much the same manner as had been founded in Scotland. Still another group took a more CARELESS route by making 12 MARYLAND ANGUS ASSOCIATION

13 up names with reckless abandon when registration time came; choosing anything that came to mind from sources such as dolls, events, and comic strips. Years passed by, and while the few auction sales held were mainly of the barnyard variety, more organized events came into being, particularly after World War II when there was a continually rising economy to be flirted with. Angus sale catalogs showed that trend, with the more reputable breeders insisting on 4-generations of ancestry; generally eulogized on the Family involved. Like anything else that is solid and soundly based, the family name was seen as a method for achieving higher returns by promotion, and by the mid 1940 s commencing in the U.S.A. but quickly adopted in Canada. Angus became highest valued not so much by their practical value but, as to the rarity or otherwise of their FAMILY. This was great for a time, for any knowledgeable Angus person with a set of Herd Books and a sharp pencil could rejuvenate new families from old, mainly by doing research on those lined from animals that had been carelessly named after importations. To add further dimension to the new family excitement that was being created, some of the most reputable breeders got into the action as well by commencing the true family name with their own herd name. Having a champion at a major show was reason enough to commence a BRANCH Family by that manner. Of the approximately seventy recognized families from which the importations to North America could descend, upwards of four hundred differing names had received some printer s ink by the mid 1950 s, and more were being created every day. The sad fact is that many of these newly-found families, and many of those who gained some prominence by the process of adding HERD Names, did for the most part prove no better than any others, with the traditional Family Name system falling into some disrepute. A major reason why Family Names are generally not shown in sale catalogs of the present day is that the true FAMILY identity has been lost by far too many breeders, and without herd books it is most difficult to have those researched. The second step is to determine the family from which the animal you are naming belongs. The family name on females can be included of the name in any one of several ways you choose or desire. Example, cow: Blacktop Gammer X409, or Gammer of Blacktop X409. Never put the sire s line in the name of a registered Angus female. For example, Gammer TRAV of Blacktop X409. Females should carry strictly female names. For bulls the above system is frequently modified. The sire s name (partially if he is prominent) is used without the family name. For example, Traveler of Blacktop X100, or Blacktop Traveler X100. If he is a particularly outstanding bull and you want to establish a new identity, you may wish to call him Blacktop President X MEMBERSHIP DIRECTORY 13

14 The American Aberdeen Angus Association will not accept names that include more than 28 letters or spaces. In the naming of your females, if you are not sure which family a particular cow may trace to, today you can go to the internet and trace the family name on the bottom side of the pedigree. If that proves to be unsuccessful, if it does not trace back far enough, then you can go to the American Aberdeen Angus Herd Books which run through Registration No. 1 to 3,200,000. A herd that has the proper naming system proves to be very rewarding from the standpoint of merchandising, and identifying prominent families within a herd. Naming of your Aberdeen Angus cattle in your herd with a litany of confusing numbers and inappropriate names can be costly from the standpoint of marketing, and ultimately result in the loss of the original family name of that animal or animals. In many farm and ranch production sales today, the sale orders are determined by cattle from the same family, selling in succession. Naming of your cattle can be enjoyable, educational, fun and intriguing. For further information about families and how to trace them, review your ANGUS LEGENDS BOOK VOLUME I printed in 2004 or ANGUS LEGENDS BOOK VOLUME I, Second Edition, printed in Never has there been a time when proper naming of Aberdeen Angus cattle is more important than today. Many record-breaking Aberdeen Angus auctions have been built around females from a popular noted Angus family. TATTOOING ABERDEEN ANGUS On March 30, 1951, the American Aberdeen Angus Association instituted a rule that all Aberdeen Angus cattle must be tattooed. Every animal for which an application for entry is submitted must be ear tattooed. Each breeder shall devise their own plan of tattoo identification, and may use a series of numbers, or letters, or combination of numbers and letters providing that the same tattoo mark shall be placed in both ears of an individual animal, and that each animal to be registered by one breeder be tattooed differently. (No animal registered by the same breeder can have the same tattoo in any calendar year.) Every registered animal sold at auction or private treaty must carry a readable tattoo. Once you start a definite system of tattooing your calves, follow it continuously and keep good permanent records. Many breeders of Aberdeen Angus cattle subscribe to the International lettering system, using a given letter each year noting the year in which the animal was born. For example, Blacktop Gammer X100 tells you that calf was born in the year of 2010 and was the 100th calf born. This permanent ID fact-sheet series details tattooing and freeze branding. You can use this information to guide the use of permanent ID for your Angus herd. 14 MARYLAND ANGUS ASSOCIATION

15 As you select a permanent ID method that you feel the most comfortable with, consider these points: Plan ahead, be prepared. Permanent ID, like all parts of herd management, requires a combination of sound decisions and prep-work to support your investments the animals, equipment and other capital that make up your farm or ranch. Good judgment, planning ahead, and being attentive to sound animal husbandry practices are imperative as you select the best method of permanent ID for your herd. These approaches can reduce stress on your animals, your equipment, and you. Categorize and organize your herd. The ID you assign a calf will be used for the remainder of its herd life. Therefore, a herd ID is an important part of accurate and organized herd management records. International Letter Code System: Instead of using the last digit of the animal s birth year to create the calf s unique herd ID, you can use a letter of the alphabet. Each year is assigned a letter (see below) to combine with the calf s birth order. Example: A calf born in 2009 would have the letter W included in its herd ID, to designate its birth year. INTERNATIONAL LETTER CODE SYSTEM U W X Y Z A B C D E F G H J K L M N P R S T *I O Q and V are not used When should you tattoo? This is usually a matter of personal preference but tattoo them young, when a small calf is more easily handled frequently without tying up and with less labor. The younger the better, as there is no doubt as to their identity, but check your tattoos again before weaning time, and replace any that have faded. Always check tattoos on young cattle anytime when you have them in the chute. Since November 15, 2003, Angus the Board of Directors of the American Angus Association instituted a new program where either hot branding or freeze branding has the same acceptance of permanent identification as tattooing. Since November 15, 2003, Angus breeders have the privilege of doing one of the following three procedures for permanent identification, tattooing, hot branding, or freeze branding. Ear tags are effective in identifying cattle but are not permanent identification. Sale MEMBERSHIP DIRECTORY 15

16 lot tags are best removed after sales and replaced with a herd ID tag that matches the permanent ID. Prior to 1970, in almost all Aberdeen Angus herds, neck chains were used as identification in herds and at public auctions sales. In herds animals were assigned a number and wore a neck chain corresponding. There were basically two kinds of neck chains; double brass neck chains or the single brass numbers carrying a duplicate number on each side. All auction sale offerings were identified with neck chain numbers to correspond with the sale catalog. In the early 1970s, ear tags came into place. Prior to 1970 it was considered sacrilegious to punch a hole in the ear of a Registered Aberdeen Angus. In the early 70s times changed, ear tags were in, neck chains were out. The neck chains proved to be highly labor-intensive. It was a good rainy day project loosening the neck chains on the yearlings and twoyear-olds because as they would continue to grow, the neck chains would tighten and needed to be loosened. Another problem with neck chains is that the animal had a tendency to get hung up and in some cases, injury or death would occur. Naming your Aberdeen Angus correctly, and having your cattle properly identified will further add continued success to your registered Aberdeen Angus herd. 16 MARYLAND ANGUS ASSOCIATION

17 Association History The Maryland Angus Association was organized in 1930 and 1931 when there were fourteen known Angus herds in the state. Herds like Andelot, Cremona and Wickwire helped write early Angus history, not only in Maryland but nationally, as well, along with many other herds too numerous to mention here. The most important Association sponsored events in the early years were the Maryland Breeders Shows. The first official show was held at the Harford Hunt Club in 1933 where 20 animals were exhibited. Over the years the Breeders Shows were discontinued, then revived, depending on the enthusiasm of the membership. The most recent revival was in 1974 when 52 head were shown at Gaithersburg in conjunction with Montgomery County Fair in August. In 1983, a Preview Show was also held at the Howard County Fairgrounds in West Friendship, as a one day event. It was so well received, the membership decided to hold a one day Breeders Show at Howard County Fairgrounds and to drop the show at Gaithersburg. In 1989 (because of difficulty raising prize monies) the Breeders Show was moved back to the Montgomery County Fair. In 2014 the Breeders Show was moved to the Maryland State Fair. The Annual Fall Quality Show and Sale was established and became a prime source for foundation Angus cattle. A number of years ago, the show portion was dropped. Currently, the fall sale is operating as a consignment sale open to all Maryland members, The Angus Event. The spring Grass Sales were organized and served as a source of good quality unfitted Angus. We currently have also dropped the Spring sale in order to focus on having more head and of better quality in the Angus Event Sale each fall. In 1986, a Maryland Steer Futurity Sale was established and held at the Frederick Fairgrounds. Featuring Maryland-bred steers, and later heifers, proceeds from a nomination fee is held in an account and pays special premiums to sale animals shown at specified county fairs, state, regional and national shows, to encourage young people to show registered Angus. The Association was incorporated as the Maryland Angus Association in 1951, with the following statement of purpose: MEMBERSHIP DIRECTORY 17

18 To promote the best interest of the Aberdeen-Angus breed of cattle by means of sales, shows, meeting, publications and in such other ways as will in the judgment of the Corporation, help in the establishment of new herds and the maintenance and improvement of present herds of Aberdeen-Angus cattle. The Corporation shall be a nonprofit corporation and neither the income nor the principal of the Corporation s funds may be used to insure the benefit of any private member nor shall the income or principle of the Corporation be used in an attempt to influence legislation by propaganda or otherwise. In 1971, the Association helped organize a Maryland Junior Angus Association and has put stronger and stronger emphasis on aiding our Junior programs with increased monetary contributions, encouragement of and help with activities. We have been rewarded with a strong and active group of young Angus enthusiasts who have been selected to host four regional junior Angus shows to date. The Maryland Angus Women s Club was organized in 1957 and has always been active in state and local Angus events and programs. Their participation in Association and Junior events has helped strengthen the Association considerably. The first Annual Dinner Social was held in 1990 at the Lisbon Firehall. This is time when the members take time out from the Holiday rush and get together to reminisce over the year and spread good cheer. The Angus Breeder and Angus Family awards are presented at this time and the selection of the new Angus Queen and Princess is announced. The annual Angus Business meeting, was once held in February and then held March in conjunction with the Maryland Cattlemen s Convention and Trade Show at Hagerstown. Starting in 2016 the Annual Meeting was combined with the Annual Social, held in December each year. At this meeting the Committees report and a new Board of Directors are elected. Since 1968, the Association has published this directory of membership every one to four years as deemed necessary by the membership. The dedication of our older members, the constant support of our Women s Club, the enthusiasm of our juniors and new members, has helped to weld our Association into a real Angus fellowship dedicated, not only to the promotion of our great breed of cattle, but also to promotion of an atmosphere of friendliness, cooperation and social exchange. 18 MARYLAND ANGUS ASSOCIATION

19 Sponsored Services & Events ANNUAL MEMBERSHIP MEETINGS The Annual Membership Meeting is held in conjunction with the Annual Social each year in December. This is the meeting during which new Directors are elected. In addition to being a very enjoyable social event, these meetings are also important educational events. These meetings provide members with an opportunity to interact with fellow breeders, listen to guest speakers discuss current management and cattle herd development issues, and to impact the direction in which the Maryland Angus Association is moving. FIELD DAYS Field days are also very significant social and educational events. We aim to offer one field day each year at one of our fellow Angus breeders farms. These events give the members an opportunity to see other breeder s cattle herds and to see, first hand, how their herds are managed. Normally held during July or August, field days typically include a social, a picnic buffet, a variety of guest speakers and a farm tour. BREED SHOWS The Association sponsors two registered Angus breed shows each year. The first is the Junior Preview Show which is currently being rotated to a different county each year to promote greater participation from juniors throughout the state. The second is the Maryland Breeders Show which will be held in conjunction with the Maryland State Fair. These shows give members an opportunity to highlight their breeding program or, if they chose not to show, to see the breeding program of other Angus breeders. CONSIGNMENT SALES At present, the Association sponsors one consignment sale each year. This sale is the Maryland Angus Breeders Sale, called The Angus Event, which includes cow/ calf pairs, AI bred cows, Al bred heifers, and prospect steers and heifers. The fees for management of these sales are determined by sale costs which are kept to a minimum. All Regular members of the Association are automatically entitled to nominate cattle this sale. AWARDS BANQUET The final event each year is the Awards Banquet. Held on the first Saturday of December, awards are presented by both the Maryland Angus Association and the Maryland Junior Association. The Angus Family of the Year and The Angus Breeder of the Year are also recognized. The winners in the Steer and Heifer MEMBERSHIP DIRECTORY 19

20 Futurity shows are announced and the Maryland Angus Queen and Princess are crowned. JUNIOR PROGRAMS The Junior Association sponsors a statewide Junior Preview Show which is both an educational and social event. The Junior Showmen are selected at this event to represent Maryland at the National Junior Angus Show. The Association also gifts various awards to outstanding juniors at the annual awards banquet held in December. These awards include the Golden Pitchfork Award; Outstanding member in Junior, Intermediate, Senior, and First year categories; and Family of the Year. FUTURITY FUNDS As a special incentive to the young people in Maryland and surrounding states, the Association maintains a fund to pay cash awards to the 4-H, FFA and Junior members who buy calves from Maryland Breeders. The Association pays cash awards to all first and second place Angus Class winners, to all champion and reserve champion Angus show winners and to all exhibitors who win overall Grand Championships. Animals must be previously nominated to receive these awards. 20 MARYLAND ANGUS ASSOCIATION

21 Futurity Program PURPOSE The Maryland Angus Association has initiated a program to promote the breeding; sales and showing of Maryland bred angus cattle. The Futurity Program is funded through donations, fundraisers and nomination fees. The program rewards Maryland Angus Junior members that purchase Maryland bred angus cattle by providing a cash payout for Futurity nominated animals exhibited at certain defined shows. The Futurity rewards are based on the individual placing at the show. It was the intent of the program to encourage and support the Maryland Junior Angus members in the purchase and exhibition of angus cattle bred by the members of the Maryland Angus Association. ELIGIBILITY Eligible animals must be registered purebred Angus and must list a Maryland Angus Association member as the breeder on the AAA registration.

The Women s Club is also responsible for choosing the Maryland Angus Queen and Princess every year. The Queen and Princess represent the state on behalf of the Maryland Angus Association and Maryland Junior Angus Association at many shows and sales around the country. Our fundraising activities have included over the years, serving meals at sales and the junior preview shows, basket bingo, a Ways and Means booth, the sale of cheese and chances on our Wheelbarrow of Gourmet Cheer. We have provided funds for over 100 scholarships. We have also hosted and supported Royalty activities at many Eastern Regional Junior shows and the Atlantic National Angus Show in Timonium. It is safe to say that our group is small but our efforts have always been large! It s difficult to measure the success of the Maryland Angus Women s Club without including the success of our Juniors. In the final analysis, that is what we are all about.

49 MD Junior Angus History Although showmanship delegates have been selected to attend the National Junior Angus Show(NJAS) since 1967, the MJAA was not organized until June of 1971 with an enrolled membership of 43. The first project of the club was to hold a Junior Showmanship Contest in November at the Eastern National Livestock Show in Timonium. Plans were made also for the Junior Field Day at Irvington Farm in Gaithersburg in June of Prior to 1972 Maryland Angus Association (MAA) field days had been the site where the delegates had been chosen to represent Maryland at the NJAS. The Maryland Angus Association sponsored showmanship and fitting clinics around the state to encourage members to learn the latest techniques.

50 1974 marked the year of the 1st junior field day with a preview show. This event turned to the State Preview show held in June and included steers, heifers, judging contest and showmanship delegates were selected for NJAS. The Preview show is still held in early June and includes a division for Cow/Calf, Bred & Owned Heifer, Bred & Owned Bull, Bred & Owned Steer, Owned Heifer and Owned Steer. Morning activities have included judging, skillathon, team sales, barnyard games and quiz bowl. Showmanship is held for junior, intermediate and senior as well as the selection of two NJAS showmanship delegates. In the late 90 s photography was added and since poster, graphic arts and creative writing. Group photos are taken and a brief meeting is held primarily to discuss the upcoming regional and national show. The MJAA was instrumental in organizing the Northeastern Junior Angus Association and in 1980 hosted the 1st Northeastern Junior Preview Show in Timonium at the State Fairgrounds. The show was titled The Star Spangled Classic. This event continued for a few years but soon the Atlantic National Show came along having a first class junior show and participation for the juniors in the region gravitate to Timonium on Memorial weekend each year. President Pam Stabler along with advisors Caryl Velisek and Dessie Moxley lead the juniors through hosting the 1982 Eastern Regional Junior Angus Heifer Show at Montgomery County Fairgrounds. The Maryland Juniors and families again hosted the Maryland With Pride in 1995 Eastern Regional Angus Show in Timonium under the direction of Melissa Harrison and advisors Doug and Pam Velisek and Doug and Donna Full. The Star Spangled Angus 2002 Eastern Regional was held in Timonium at the Maryland State Fairgrounds with Cortney Hill-Dukehart and Curtis Bryant as junior co-chairs and Frank & Julie Feeser as adult advisor chairs. The junior association hosted its most recent Eastern Regional Show in 2012 under the theme Chillin on the Chesapeake. Kelsey Stabler and Jessica Clarke served as junior co-chairs of this show with Doug and Pam Velisek, Doug and Donna Full, and Tim and Becky Clarke as adult chairs. These events were highly successful and motivated the junior and adult membership to work together to highlight the small state of Maryland and create lasting, positive memories for all whom participated. Over the years, advisors to the juniors have been dedicated adults, helping young Angus enthusiasts excel. Those volunteers known to this volunteer are as follows: Gloria Clower, Roy Neal, Caryl Velisek, Dessie Moxley, Daryl Johnson, Dale Hough, Doug & Pam Velisek, Doug & Donna Full, Melissa Schulze, Kelly O Boyle, Frank & Julie Feeser, Tim & Becky Clarke and Todd, Carolyn Howard, Dave and Kelly Brauning, Mike Dull, Jessica Clarke, and Lindsay Schoonover. Each have taken responsibilities of the club to continue its success and growth. Early as the 70 s, Maryland Juniors would trek to regional and national shows as a group. While Maryland adult breeders forged a path in America s Angus heritage, Maryland Juniors have gained recognition across the country over the last MARYLAND ANGUS ASSOCIATION

51 years being on the top end of many state group classes, team sales, computer cow/ calf game, speech, photography, graphic design, quiz bowl, herdsmanship and scrapbook competitions. Showmanship representatives have traveled to NJAS having several in the top finalists and even a winner. Many scholarships have been won both regionally and nationally. The 1st Miss American Angus hailed from Maryland and since had another. Five have been selected to the National Junior Angus Board. On the show ring side high honors have been claimed in all divisions and even show heifer of the year. Maryland has been a small state in size and numbers but mighty in quality of cattle and dedication and enthusiasm of juniors. The families of the Maryland Junior Angus Association, the Maryland Angus Association and the Maryland Angus Women have served the juniors over the years having breeder steer and heifer sales, donating funds, supporting fundraising efforts, presenting scholarships, supporting physical and emotional needs. In order for this small state to achieve so much over the years and work as a team has taken strong dedicated advisors and leaders. As you can see we have many from that original charter club who are actively involved in the success of the MJAA. It takes generational support in a small state like ours and we do appreciate you! The MJAA express their gratitude for the many who have contributed so much of their time, talent, energy and money over the years. QUALITY BEEF CUSTOM HAY Eleanor M. Leak & Family Trundle Rd.

70 The Certified Angus Beef Program MISSION A division of the American Angus Association, the Certified Angus Beef (CAB) Program was established in 1978 to increase demand for registered Angus seedstock through the promotion of a consistent, high quality, specification-based brand of beef. THE CERTIFICATION PROCESS Employees at licensed processing plants are approved and monitored by the USDA to identify predominantly solid black cattle (at least 51 percent of each animal s hair coat is black). This means purebred Angus cattle as well as cattle exhibiting Angus-type characteristics are eligible for the Program. Although most of the identified cattle are polled, horned cattle are also accepted. When the Angus-type cattle are identified, their carcasses are marked with an A stamp to maintain identity. Only steer and heifer carcasses are then evaluated by a USDA Grader, an impartial third-party, based on the following criteria: 1. Modest or higher marbling 2. Medium or fine marbling texture 3. A maturity classification to 16 square inch ribeye area 5. Less than 1,000 lb. hot carcass weight 6. Less than 1 inch fat thickness 7. Superior muscling 8. Practically free of capillary ruptures 9. No dark cutters 10. No neck hump exceeding 2 inches Only 1 out of 6 carcasses evaluated meets all eight of these rigid grading specifications and is marketed using the CERTIFIED ANGUS BEEF marks. PRODUCT DISTRIBUTION The Program does not own the cattle or beef product. It licenses packers to identify Angus-type cattle for USDA evaluation and certification. Licensed fabricators then prepare CERTIFIED ANGUS BEEF product for worldwide distribution. Only Program licensees, including distributors, restaurants and retail stores, may use the CERTIFIED ANGUS BEEF marks to promote the product. For a list of licensed restaurants and retailers near you, call the CAB Program at (800) The Program s focus on quality and integrity ensures that CERTIFIED ANGUS BEEF product remains world-renowned for its exceptional tenderness, juiciness and flavor. Clearly a Matter of Taste 70 MARYLAND ANGUS ASSOCIATION

71 Make an Investment In Your Future SIRE EVALUATION PROGRAM The American Angus Association boasts the most comprehensive sire evaluation program in the industry. The CAB Program s supply development division partners with the Association, Angus breeders, commercial producers and feeders to test sires for genetic contributions to progeny carcass merit. Carcass Expected Progeny Differences (EPDs) for marbling, carcass weight, ribeye area, fat thickness and percent retail product result and serve as valuable tools for making breeding decisions. Sire Donor - A seedstock producer with a sire to be evaluated for progeny carcass merit should provide the name and registration number of the potential test sire to the CAB Program. Cooperating Herd - A commercial producer who can artificially inseminate 120+ cows or heifers annually can serve as a cooperating herd. Cattle in a cooperating herd will be randomly mated to a test sire or a reference sire in equal numbers. Ideally, a contemporary group consists of 20+ male progeny from the test sire and a combined total of 20+ progeny from the reference sires. Carcass Data Collection - Accurate information on carcass quality and cutability helps Angus producers market cattle effectively and make sound breeding and management decisions. The Carcass Data Collection & Analysis Service provides Sire evaluation Program participants the opportunity to obtain complete individual and / or group carcass data at minimal cost. VALUE DISCOVERY PROGRAM This retained ownership program is sponsored for producers to discover where their cattle fit on the scale for carcass value. Producers may consign a minimum of five steers for feeding at a commercial feedlot. (National Junior Angus Association members may enter three or four steers. A state junior entry consists of six to eight steers.) Feedlot and carcass data are collected on the steers, and a comprehensive data and cost analysis is performed. Health information is also included in the final analysis. For more information, contact: Supply Development Division Certified Angus Beef Program 206 Riffel Rd.
