President’s MessageDear Angus Friends,

It has been a privilege and an honor to serve as your president this year. I wantto thank the board for their commitment and dedication, especially MelissaSchulze, Secretary, and Patty Kerns, Treasurer. These two ladies do the heavylifting for the association. Thanks so much.

2015 was a successful year for Maryland Angus. We had our Breeders Show inconjunction with the Open Angus Show at the Maryland State Fair. This wasthe second year for this arrangement and it seems to be a win-win. Even if youdon’t show, come down to the fair and watch the Angus Show and enjoy a lightlunch with fellow Angus breeders.

Our Angus Event was held in October. We had a very successful sale. Thequality of consignments were outstanding. The Angus Event offers a wonderfulopportunity to market your Angus genetics or to select a high quality consign-ment to add to your herd.

Our Junior Association continues to offer a wonderful opportunity for ourjuniors to compete at the State, Regional and National levels. We have beenblessed to have outstanding advisors, past and present. They give so much timeand effort to help our juniors. Shane, Mary and I thank these advisors for theirencouragement, advice, and friendship throughout Shane’s junior years.

The beef business is in a strong place right now. There is a strong demand forAngus genetics. Moving forward we need to be at the fore front and be part ofthe solution concerning animal wellbeing issues, the use of antibiotics/hormones, and environmental aspects of modern agricultural production. We need to approach the issues in a non-defensive manner and join withprocessors, food delivery industry, and the consumers to solve these issues tobenefit the beef industry.

Hope to see you in 2016. If you see me at a show, a sale, delivering a calf orflushing a cow, please introduce yourself and we can talk “Angus”.

Sincerely,

John L. Heizer, D.V.M.John L. Heizer, D.V.M.Cool Pines Farm

One of the important aspects of being a successful and noted breeder ofAberdeen Angus cattle is properly naming the cattle that you breed.

The word “family” is not to be confused with the terms “blood” and “blood-line”. These latter denote an entire ancestral background. The family name isreached by tracing only the bottom (female line) of the pedigree which ulti-mately relates a particular female to a single cow recognized as the foundationanimal of a particular family. Only the dam transmits the family name to theoffspring. 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 theAmerican Aberdeen Angus Breeder’s Association has been closed for manyyears, new families branch from established families. Whether a new familybecomes important depends on the performance of the animals in it. This ispurely 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 inthe Herd Book, it does not always include a cow commonly recognized as thefounder of the family. Many “family names” have come into general circulationrecently through the simple procedure of designating the first registered cow onthe female side as the “Foundation Cow” and then naming all her moderndescendants after her. Thus, breeders themselves establish the family traditionand maintain it on their own terms.

One of the greatest satisfactions that can come to breeders is the discoverywithin their herd of a line of such truly superior producing females that theyare 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 recom-mended way of naming your animal is establishing a name that is easily recog-nized, such as Blacktop, rather than BTF which is the abbreviation for BlacktopFarm. In a pedigree, initials are difficult for many breeders to relate to as the

AND PERMANENT IDENTIFICATIONBy: Tom Burke, Kurt Schaff, and Jeremy Haag

10

breeder of that animal. While both Blacktop and BTF are acceptable, Blacktopis much easier to relate to in a pedigree. Once you have established your prefixor 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 isto create a definite, ready achievement of a single herd and its breeder. Prefixtends to emphasize the advantage of bringing together in a single inclusivegroup 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 phaseof the breeding of registered Angus cattle has been as confusing to new breedersand to many long-time breeders as has the FAMILY NAME which has held ahallowed tradition by many for generations, and totally ignored by others.Actually, the basics are relatively simple and sensible, and the practice was insti-tuted by most British breeds in their homeland. The procedure is exactly con-verse to what we humans have been using for the past 500 years or more. THEFEMALE CALF TAKES ITS “FAMILY” NAME FROM THE DAM BUTNOT 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 (1780-1865) – SIR GEORGE McPHERSONGRANT of Ballindalloch Castle (1839-1907) and WILLIAM McCOMBIE ofTillyfour (1805-1880). Some early historians give William McCombie creditfor establishing the family system of naming but it was McPherson-Grant whocarried through with the greatest accuracy during his lifetime. The system orig-inated by the “Master Breeders” also allowed some variations by sometimes giv-ing slightly different names to successive daughters, but retaining the first letterof the Family “Name” as a key – for instance, if the foundation dam’s familywas GEORGINA, then her daughters might be named GERANA – GIRAL-DA—GYROSAL, etc., and still be recognized and remain in the defined“GEORGINA” Family.

When importations to North America commenced, those came from numerousScotch and U.K. herds – far and beyond the reputation herds mentioned.Many imports therefore had not been defined with family names, and in factmany were only 1st or 2nd generation from first-registered females, thereforehad no opportunity for a family name to have been established.Once in North America, those early day imports moved freely and rapidly toalmost every point where there was grass to graze. Most of the serious mindedbreeders utilized the family name system procedure in much the same manneras had been founded in Scotland. Still another group took a more CARELESSroute by making up names with reckless abandon when registration time came;choosing anything that came to mind from sources such as dolls, events, andcomic strips.

11

Years passed by, and while the few auction sales held were mainly of the barn-yard variety, more organized events came into being, and particularly afterWorld 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 namewas seen as a method for achieving higher returns by promotion, and by themid 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 therarity or otherwise of their FAMILY.

This was great for a time, for any knowledgeable Angus person with a set ofHerd Books and a sharp pencil could rejuvenate “new” families from old, mainly by doing research on those lined from animals who had been carelesslynamed after importations. To add further dimension to the “new” familyexcitement that was being created, some of the most reputable breeders got intothe action as well by commencing the true family name with their own herdname. Having a champion at a major show was reason enough to commence a BRANCH Family by that manner. Of the approximately seventy recognizedfamilies 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 thosewho gained some prominence by the process of adding HERD Names, did forthe most part prove no better than any others, with the traditional “FamilyName” system falling into some disrepute. A major reason why “FamilyNames” are generally not shown in sale catalogs of the present day is that thetrue FAMILY identity has been lost by far too many breeders, and without herdbooks it is most difficult to have those researched.

The second step is to determine the family from which the animal you arenaming belongs. The family name on females can be included of the name inany one of several ways you choose or desire. Example, cow: Blacktop GammerX409, or Gammer of Blacktop X409. Never put the sire’s line in the name of aregistered Angus female. Example, Gammer TRAV of Blacktop X409. Femalesshould carry strictly female names.

For bulls the above system is frequently modified. The sire’s name (partially ifhe is prominent) is used without the family name. Example, Traveler ofBlacktop X100, or Blacktop Traveler X100. If he is a particularly outstandingbull and you want to establish a new identity, you may wish to call himBlacktop President X101.

The American Aberdeen Angus Association will not accept names that includemore than 28 letters or spaces. In the naming of your females, if you are not

12

sure which family a particular cow may trace to, today you can go to the inter-net and trace the family name on the bottom side of the pedigree. If thatproves to be unsuccessful, if it does not trace back far enough, then you can goto the American Aberdeen Angus Herd Books which run through RegistrationNo. 1 to 3,200,000.

A herd that has the proper naming system proves to be very rewarding from thestandpoint of merchandising, and identifying prominent families within a herd.Naming of your Aberdeen Angus cattle in your herd with a litany of confusingnumbers and inappropriate names can be costly from the standpoint of market-ing, and ultimately result in the loss of the original family name of that animalor animals.

In many farm and ranch production sales today, the sale orders are determinedby cattle from the same family, selling in succession.

Naming of your cattle can be enjoyable, educational, fun and intriguing. Forfurther information about families and how to trace them, review yourANGUS LEGENDS BOOK VOLUME I printed in 2004 or ANGUS LEG-ENDS BOOK VOLUME I, Second Edition, printed in 2005.

Never has there been a time when proper naming of Aberdeen Angus cattle ismore important than today. Many record-breaking Aberdeen Angus auctionshave been built around females from a popular noted Angus family.

TATTOOING ABERDEEN ANGUS

On March 30, 1951, the American Aberdeen Angus Association instituted arule that all Aberdeen Angus cattle must be tattooed. Every animal for whichan application for entry is submitted must be ear tattooed. Each breeder shalldevise 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 tattoomark shall be placed in both ears of an individual animal, and that each animalto be registered by one breeder be tattooed differently. (No animal registered bythe same breeder can have the same tattoo in any calendar year.) Every regis-tered animal sold at auction or private treaty must carry a readable tattoo.Once you start a definite system of tattooing your calves, follow it continuouslyand keep good permanent records.

Many breeders of Aberdeen Angus cattle subscribe to the International letteringsystem, using a given letter each year noting the year in which the animal wasborn. Such as Blacktop Gammer X100 tells you that calf was born in the yearof 2010 and was the 100th calf born.

This permanent ID fact-sheet series details tattooing and freeze branding. Youcan use this information to guide the use of permanent ID for your Angus herd.

13

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 yourinvestments—the animals, equipment and other capital that make up yourfarm or ranch. Good judgment, planning ahead, and being attentive to soundanimal husbandry practices are imperative as you select the best method of per-manent 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 forthe remainder of its herd life. Therefore, a herd ID is an important part ofaccurate and organized herd management records.

International Letter Code System: Instead of using the last digit of the animal’sbirth year to create the calf ’s unique herd ID, you can use a letter of the alpha-bet. Each year is assigned a letter (see below) to combine with the calf ’s birthorder.

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 - 2008 W - 2009 X - 2010 Y - 2011Z - 2012 A - 2013 B - 2014 C - 2015D - 2016 E - 2017 F - 2018 G - 2019H - 2020 J - 2021 K - 2022 L - 2023M - 2024 N - 2025 P - 2026 R - 2027S - 2028 T - 2029 *I O Q and V are not used

When should you tattoo? This is usually a matter of personal preference buttattoo them young, when a small calf is more easily handled frequently withouttying up and with less labor. The younger the better, as there is no doubt as totheir identity, but check your tattoos again before weaning time, and replaceany that have faded. Always check tattoos on young cattle anytime when youhave them in the chute.

Since November 15, 2003, Angus the Board of Directors of the AmericanAngus Association instituted a new program where either hot branding orfreeze branding has the same acceptance of permanent identification as tattoo-ing. Since November 15, 2003, Angus breeders have the privilege of doing oneof the following three procedures for permanent identification, tattooing, hotbranding, or freeze branding.

14

Ear tags are effective in identifying cattle but are not permanent identification.Sale lot tags are best removed after sales and replaced with a herd ID tag thatmatch the permanent ID.

Prior to 1970, in almost all Aberdeen Angus herds, neck chains were used asidentification in herds and at public auctions sales. In herds animals wereassigned a number and wore a neck chain corresponding. There were basicallytwo kinds of neck chains; double brass neck chains or the single brass numberscarrying 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 neckchains proved to be highly labor-intensive. It was a good rainy day projectloosening the neck chains on the yearlings and two-year-olds because as theywould continue to grow, the neck chains would tighten and needed to be loosened. Another problem with neck chains is that the animal had a tendencyto 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 Angusherd.

Association History

T he Maryland Angus Association was organized in 1930 and 1931 whenthere 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 otherherds too numerous to mention here.

The most important Association sponsored events in the early years were theMaryland Breeders Shows. The first official show was held at the HarfordHunt Club in 1933 where 20 animals were exhibited. Over the years theBreeders Shows were discontinued, then revived, depending on the enthusiasmof the membership.

The most recent revival was in 1974 when 52 head were shown at Gaithersburgin conjunction with Montgomery County Fair in August. In 1983, a Preview Show was also held at the Howard County Fairgrounds inWest Friendship, as a one day event. It was so well received, the membershipdecided to hold a one day Breeders Show at Howard County Fairgrounds andto drop the show at Gaithersburg. In 1989 (because of difficulty raising prizemonies) the Breeders Show was moved back to the Montgomery County Fair.In 2014, the Bredders Show was moved to the MD State Fair.

The Annual Fall Quality Show and Sale was established and became a primesource for foundation Angus cattle. A number of years ago, the “show” portionwas dropped.

The spring “Grass Sales” were organized and served as a source of good qualityunfitted Angus.

In 1986, a Maryland Steer Futurity Sale was established and held at theFrederick Fairgrounds. Featuring Maryland-bred steers, and later heifers, pro-ceeds from a nomination fee is held in an account and pays special premiumsto sale animals shown at specified county fairs, state, regional and nationalshows, 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: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 judgement of the

16

Corporation, help in the establishment of new herds and the maintenance andimprovement of present herds of Aberdeen-Angus cattle.

The Corporation shall be a nonprofit corporation and neither the income northe principal of the Corporation’s funds may be used to insure the benefit of any private member nor shall the income or principle of theCorporation be used in an attempt to influence legislation by propaganda orotherwise.

In 1971, the Association helped organize a Maryland Junior Angus Associationand has put stronger and stronger emphasis on aiding our Junior programs withincreased monetary contributions, encouragement of and help with activities.We have been rewarded with a strong and active group of young Angus enthu-siasts 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 alwaysbeen active in state and local Angus events and programs. Their participationin Association and Junior events has helped strengthen the Association consid-erably.

The first Annual Dinner Social was held in 1990 at the Lisbon Firehall. This istime when the members take time out from the Holiday rush and get togetherto reminisce over the year and spread good cheer. The Angus Breeder andAngus Family awards are presented at this time and the selection of the newAngus Queen and Princess is announced.

The annual Angus Business meeting (formally held in February) is now held inMarch. At this meeting the Committees report and a new Board of Directorsare elected.

Since 1968, the Association has published this directory of membership everyone to four years as deemed necessary by the membership.

The dedication of our older members, the constant support of our Women’sClub, the enthusiasm of our juniors and new members, has helped to weld ourAssociation into a real Angus fellowship dedicated, not only to the promotionof our great breed of cattle, but also to promotion of an atmosphere of friendli-ness, cooperation and social exchange.

17

Sponsored Services & EventsAnnual Membership Meetings The first major event each year is the Annual Membership Meeting. These meetings are normally held during March. This is the meeting during whichnew Directors are elected.

Field DaysField days are also very significant social and educational events. We have onefield day each year at one of our fellow Angus breeders farms, depending on theenthusiasm of the membership. These events give the members an opportunityto see other breeder’s cattle herds and to see, first hand, how their herds aremanaged. Normally held during July or August, field days typically include asocial, a picnic buffet, a variety of guest speakers and a farm tour.

Breed ShowsThe Association sponsors two registered Angus breed shows each year. The firstis the Junior Preview Show which is currently being rotated to a different coun-ty each year to promote greater participation from juniors throughout the state.The second is the Maryland Breeders Show which will be held in conjunctionwith the Maryland State Fair. These shows give members an opportunity tohighlight their breeding program or, if they chose not to show, to see the breed-ing program of other Angus breeders.

Consignment SaleAt present, the Association sponsors one consignment sale each year. This saleis the Maryland Angus Breeders Sale, called ‘The Angus Event,’ which includescow/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 arekept to a minimum. All Regular members of the Association are automaticallyentitled to nominate cattle this sale.

Awards BanquetThe final event each year is the Awards Banquet. Held on the first Saturday ofDecember, awards are presented by both the Maryland Angus Association andthe Maryland Junior Association. The Angus Family of the Year and TheAngus Breeder of the Year are also recognized. The winners in the Steer andHeifer Futurity shows are announced and the Maryland Angus Queen andPrincess are crowned.

18

Junior ProgramsThe Junior Association sponsors a statewide Junior Preview Show which is bothan educational and social event. The Junior Showmen are selected at this eventto represent Maryland at the National Junior Angus Show. The Associationalso gifts various awards to outstanding juniors at the annual awards banquetheld 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 FundsAs 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 andJunior members who buy calves from Maryland Breeders. The Association payscash awards to all first and second place Angus Class winners, to all championand reserve champion Angus show winners and to all exhibitors who win over-all Grand Championships. Animals must be previously nominated to receivethese wards.

Futurity ProgramPurpose The Maryland Angus Association has initiated a program to promote the breed-ing, sales and showing of Maryland bred angus cattle. The Futurity Program isfunded through donations, fundraisers and nomination fees. The programrewards Maryland Angus Junior members that purchase Maryland bred anguscattle by providing a cash payout for Futurity nominated animals exhibited atcertain defined shows. The Futurity rewards are based on the individual plac-ing at the show. It was the intent of the program to encourage and support theMaryland Junior Angus members in the purchase and exhibition of angus cattlebred by the members of the Maryland Angus Association.

Eligibility Eligible animals must be registered purebred Angus and must list a MarylandAngus Association member as the breeder on the AAA registration. The animalmust be sold to a second party that is a current member in good standing ofthe Maryland Angus Junior Association. Junior bred and owned animals arenot eligible. Any animal that meets the age requirements to show is eligible inthe nominating year.

Maryland Angus Women's Club

T he Maryland Angus Women’s Club was one the first Angusauxiliaries in the country. It preceded the American Angus Auxiliary

by a couple of years having been organized in 1956-57. The Club’s mainmission is to aid and fund the auxiliary scholarships for the state and be asupport system to the Maryland Junior Angus Association.

The Women’s Club is also responsible for choosing the Maryland AngusQueen and Princess every year. The Queen and Princess represent the stateon behalf of the Maryland Angus Association and Maryland Junior AngusAssociation at many shows and sales around the country.

Our fundraising activities have included over the years, serving meals atsales and the junior preview shows, basket bingo, a Ways and Means booth,the sale of cheese and chances on our Wheelbarrow of Gourmet Cheer. Wehave provided funds for over 100 scholarships. We have also hosted andsupported Royalty activities at many Eastern Regional Junior shows and theAtlantic National Angus Show in Timonium.

It is safe to say that our group is small but our efforts have always beenlarge! It’s difficult to measure the success of the Maryland Angus Women’sClub without including the success of our Juniors. In the final analysis,that is what we are all about.

Maryland J

unior AngusH I S T O RY

A lthough showmanship delegates have been selected to attend theNational Junior Angus Show(NJAS) since 1967, the MJAA was not

organized until June of 1971 with an enrolled membership of 43. The firstproject of the club was to hold a Junior Showmanship Contest inNovember at the Eastern National Livestock Show in Timonium. Planswere made also for the Junior Field Day at Irvington Farm in Gaithersburgin June of 1972. Prior to 1972 Maryland Angus Association (MAA) fielddays had been the site where the delegates had been chosen to representMaryland at the NJAS. The Maryland Angus Association sponsored show-manship and fitting clinics around the state to encourage members to learnthe latest techniques.

1974 marked the year of the 1st junior field day with a preview show. Thisevent 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 each spring and includes a division forCow/Calf, Bred & Owned Heifer, Bred & Owned Bull, Bred & OwnedSteer, Owned Heifer and Owned Steer. Morning activities have includedjudging, skillathon, team sales, barnyard games and quiz bowl.

Showmanship is held for junior, intermediate and senior as well as the selec-tion of two NJAS showmanship delegates. In the late 90’s photography wasadded and since poster, graphic arts and creative writing. Group photosare taken and a brief meeting is held primarily to discuss the upcomingregional and national show.

The MJAA was instrumental in organizing the Northeastern Junior AngusAssociation and in 1980 hosted the 1st Northeastern Junior Preview Showin Timonium at the State Fairgrounds. The show was titled “The StarSpangled Classic”. This event continued for a few years but soon theAtlantic National Show came along having a first class junior show and par-ticipation for the juniors in the region gravitate to Timonium on Memorialweekend each year.

President Pam Stabler along with advisors Caryl Velisek and Dessie Moxleylead the juniors through hosting the 1982 Eastern Regional Junior AngusHeifer Show at Montgomery County Fairgrounds. The Maryland Juniorsand families again hosted the “Maryland With Pride in 1995” EasternRegional Angus Show in Timonium under the direction of MelissaHarrison and advisors Doug and Pam Velisek and Doug and Donna Full.The “Star Spangled Angus” 2002 Eastern Regional was held in Timoniumat the Maryland State Fairgrounds with Cortney Hill-Dukehart and CurtisBryant as junior co-chairs and Frank & Julie Feeser as adult advisor chairs.The junior association hosted its most recent Eastern Regional Show in2012 under the theme “Chillin’ on the Chesapeake.” Kelsey Stabler andJessica Clarke served as junior co-chairs of this show with Doug and PamVelisek, Doug and Donna Full, and Tim and Becky Clarke as adult chairs.These events were highly successful and motivated the junior and adultmembership to work together to highlight the small state of Maryland andcreate lasting, positive memories for all whom participated.

Over the years, advisors to the juniors have been dedicated adults, helpingyoung Angus enthusiasts excel. The juniors are grateful for the help andsupport of both past and present advisors.

Early as the 70’s, Maryland Juniors would trek to regional and nationalshows as a group. While Maryland adult breeders forged a path in America’sAngus heritage, Maryland Juniors have gained recognition across the coun-try over the last 30 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 repre-sentatives have traveled to NJAS having several in the top finalists and evena winner. Many scholarships have been won both regionally and nationally.The 1st Miss American Angus hailed from Maryland and since had another.Six have been selected to the National Junior Angus Board. On the showring side high honors have been claimed in all divisions and even showheifer of the year. Maryland has been a small state in size and numbers butmighty in quality of cattle and dedication and enthusiasm of juniors.

The families of the Maryland Junior Angus Association, the MarylandAngus Association and the Maryland Angus Women have served the juniorsover the years having breeder steer and heifer sales, donating funds, support-ing fundraising efforts, presenting scholarships, supporting physical andemotional needs. In order for this small state to achieve so much over theyears and work as a team has taken strong dedicated advisors and leaders. Asyou can see we have many from that original charter club who are activelyinvolved in the success of the MJAA. It takes generational support in asmall state like ours and we do appreciate you! The MJAA express theirgratitude for the many who have contributed so much of their time, talent,energy and money over the years.

TheCertified Angus Beef Program

MissionA division of the American Angus Association, the Certified Angus Beef

(CAB) Program was established in 1978 to increase demand for registered Angusseedstock through the promotion of a consistent, high quality, specification-basedbrand of beef.

The Certification ProcessEmployees 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 cattleexhibiting Angus-type characteristics are eligible for the Program. Although most ofthe “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 bya USDA Grader, an impartial third-party, based on the following criteria:

1. Modest or higher marbling2. Medium or fine marbling texture3. “A” maturity classification4. 10 to 16 square inch ribeye area5. Less than 1,000 lb. hot carcass weight6. Less than 1 inch fat thickness7. Superior muscling8. Practically free of capillary ruptures9. No dark cutters10. No neck hump exceeding 2 inches

Only 1 out of 6 carcasses evaluated meets all eight of these rigid grading speci-fications and is marketed using the CERTIFIED ANGUS BEEF marks.

Product DistributionThe Program does not own the cattle or beef product. It licenses packers to

identify Angus-type cattle for USDA evaluation and certification. Licensed fabrica-tors then prepare CERTIFIED ANGUS BEEF product for worldwide distribution.Only Program licensees, including distributors, restaurants and retail stores, may usethe CERTIFIED ANGUS BEEF marks to promote the product. For a list oflicensed restaurants and retailers near you, call the CAB Program at (800) 225-2333.

The Program’s focus on quality and integrity ensures that CERTIFIEDANGUS BEEF product remains world-renowned for its exceptional tenderness,juiciness and flavor.

Make anInvestment

in Your FutureSire Evaluation Program

The American Angus Association boaststhe most comprehensive sire evaluation program in the industry. The CABProgram’s supply development division partners with the Association, Angus breed-ers, commercial producers and feeders to test sires for genetic contributions to prog-eny carcass merit. Carcass Expected Progeny Differences (EPDs) for marbling, car-cass weight, ribeye area, fat thickness and percent retail product result and serve asvaluable tools for making breeding decisions.

Sire Donor - A seedstock producer with a sire to be evaluated for progenycarcass merit should provide the name and registration number of the potential testsire to the CAB Program.

Cooperating Herd - A commercial producer who can artificially inseminate120+ cows or heifers annually can serve as a cooperating herd. Cattle in a cooper-ating herd will be randomly mated to a test sire or a reference sire in equal num-bers. Ideally, a contemporary group consists of 20+ male progeny from the test sireand a combined total of 20+ progeny from the reference sires.

Carcass Data Collection - Accurate information on carcass quality andcutability helps Angus producers market cattle effectively and make sound breedingand management decisions. The Carcass Data Collection & Analysis Service pro-vides Sire evaluation Program participants the opportunity to obtain complete indi-vidual and / or group carcass data at minimal cost.

Value Discovery ProgramThis retained ownership program is sponsored for producers to discover where

their cattle fit on the scale for carcass value. Producers may consign a minimum offive steers for feeding at a commercial feedlot. (National Junior Angus Associationmembers may enter three or four steers. A state junior entry consists of six to eightsteers.) Feedlot and carcass data are collected on the steers, and a comprehensivedata and cost analysis is performed. Health information is also included in the finalanalysis.
