The Breed Performance Built
Red Angus cattle are gaining more and more
popularity these days, and with good reason. But why should a commercial
breeder invest in Red Angus genetics?
1. Industry - leading performance:
Ever since its inception, the Red Angus Association of America has been a
leader in the performance revolution. The breed has never chased fads and
has always kept the commercial producer in mind. Recently Red Angus became
the first breed to require members to submit performance records for their
entire calf crops, a fact that will only improve the the breed's highly
reliable EPD's. When used wisely, these EPD's can translate into a more
productive, efficient, and profitable beef operation.
2. Excellent carcass traits: Value
based marketing is no longer a catch phrase for the future; it's here
today. The Red Angus breed can help you position yourself to take
advantage of this monumental change in the beef industry. For the past
four years Red Angus breeders have been enrolling sires into structured
carcass evaluations, and nearly 300 proven sires already have carcass
EPD's. Red Angus breeders have proven they can produce Choice and Prime
steers with Yield Grades of 1 and 2. These are the kind of cattle that
will help you not only survive but thrive within a value based system.
3. Commercial Marketing Program: The
Red Angus Association of America has the most extensive commercial
assistance program of any breed in America. Programs like the Feeder Calf
Certification Program, Feeder-Fax, Superior Livestock Auction, and
Regional Feeder Calf Sales all help commercial producers market their
cattle more effectively to increase their bottom line.
The Red Angus breed has much to offer for any
beef producer. Bottom line, Red Angus cattle can make your operation more
profitable all around.
