Angus calves bring more premiums.
In the good times and bad, Angus-sired calves consistently outperform the competition. The 16-year “Here’s the Premium” study from Certified Angus Beef (CAB) shows Angus calves fetch higher prices than calves of any other breed. In fact, 2014 data show Angus calves brought a combined average of nearly $7 per cwt. more than all other calves of similar size and condition.
Angus offers lower birth weight, more growth and marbling.
No other breed offers a better balance of the traits you need to stay profitable. Compared to Hereford, Red Angus, Simmental and others, Angus bulls offer significantly lower birth weight, equal or greater yearling weight and substantially higher marbling. *
And all registered Angus are backed by the industry’s most reliable genetic evaluation service. Quality is the pathway to growing beef demand.
