ANGUS BEEF BULLETIN: The Commercial Cattleman’s Angus Connection

We are here to help you make the most of your Angus genetics. When you buy an Angus bull and have that registration paper transferred to your name, you’re not just buying a bull. You are developing a relationship and opening a door to American Angus Association services. Programs like AngusLinkSM and the Certified Angus Beef® (CAB®

) brand allow you to capture premiums in the marketplace. There are people at every step in your journey ready to help, and we are happy to make the connection. That registration paper is also the ticket to a free subscription to a steady stream of information from the Angus Beef Bulletin. Today’s cattle industry is complicated by rising input costs, a fickle marketplace and pressure from outside industry forces. Subscribe to the Angus Beef Bulletin magazine and the Angus Beef Bulletin EXTRA e-newsletter today. We’ve evolved a lot in 30 years, but one thing that hasn’t changed?: Our team is ready to serve you. Shauna Hermel, editor

A livestock feed additive commonly used to promote growth in cattle, swine and poultry may pose a serious risk to man's best friend.

The report, published in Veterinary Record Case Reports, describes two cases of dogs treated at the Texas A&M Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital that consumed ractopamine, an additive mixed into livestock feed to help animals such as cattle, pigs and poultry grow lean muscle, which dogs may accidentally ingest if they have access to feed or storage areas.

In the most recent , one Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service expert explains safety considerations as well as benefits to land, wildlife and communities: https://bit.ly/4nJKIz0

When it comes to making purchases, relationships and reputation matter. The Genetic Merit Scorecard® gives cattle feeders and beef consumers confidence when buying.

“If I’m flipping through a [sale book] and I see something that says out of registered Angus bulls and it doesn’t have the Genetic Merit Scorecard? At these price levels, I have to question, ‘What’s their vaccination protocol? Are they giving the shots effectively?’” Spencer Smith said in a panel discussion at Angus Convention. “Even if the average is 88% Choice, I can make a living on average cattle. [The GMS] tells me a lot more about their operations.”
