Targeting the
Certified Angus Beef Brand
Demand for the Certified Angus Beef Brand
(CAB) brand has never been stronger. CAB
sales have grown to an all-time high of over
800 million pounds sold in 2012. With packers
and feedlots looking to meet this demand, the
future is bright for cattlemen who have the
genetics in their calf crop that can achieve
high quality grades and the CAB brands
specifications.
