Sponsored: “Proven cow families along with the most proven and progressive cutting-edge sires are the blueprint for our foundation. We believe the goal posts for success are phenotype and genotype working hand in hand.” – Charlie Boyd II

Featured in the Female Foundations section of the April Angus Beef Bulletin is Boyd Beef Cattle of Mays Lick, Ky. Thirty-three years in the Angus business is no small feat, but the Boyd family has been raising registered cattle since 1893. Balancing maternal qualities with performance traits has resulted in 31 AI stud sires, but Charlie is most proud of the friendships he’s developed and that sons Blake and Logan are now the fifth generation joining Boyd Beef Cattle. The family is hosting their annual female production sale Sept. 27!

At these cattle price levels, it may be tempting to let your marketing plan slide down the priority list because you’ll probably sell cattle for more money than ever before.

However, here’s something to keep in mind: Just like premiums, discounts are larger than ever. Preconditioned calves have become standard. Bawling calves without shots get sharp discounts.

Get the premiums, not the discounts. Cattle marketing tips from Troy Marshall with the American Angus Association here: https://bit.ly/45tRaT9

When should calves be weaned this fall? Is it better to wean earlier and let the cows put on condition or do you have the forage to keep them with mama a little longer?

Sponsored: “We have always prioritized phenotype, and, over the last five years, we have combined that with looking at genotype. By purchasing elite donor cows from around the country, we have started to produce our own elite cattle that are attractive and have great genetic potential.” – Timoteo (Tim) Arellano

Featured in the Female Foundations section of the April Angus Beef Bulletin is Arellano Bravo Angus of Walnut Grove, Calif.

Two generations of Arellanos work together in developing their elite Angus herd. Tim’s father, Adhemar Arellano Bravo Sr., learned about ranching from his grandfather in Mexico. After Adhemar Sr. migrated to the United States in the ’80s, he established Arellano Bravo Angus on a 27-acre farm with 25 cows and six horses. The family is hosting its 18th annual bull sale Sept. 13, and its first female sale Oct. 12!

The Commercial Cattleman’s Angus Connection

We need to support our customers. That’s as true now as it was in 1992 when the Angus Beef Bulletin was formed as a public relations newsletter to reach commercial customers of American Angus Association members. While the publication has gone through many changes in its nearly 30-year existence, the founding principle is the same: Our members’ long-term success hinges on making your investment in Angus genetics profitable.

In 2018, we reinforced that commitment by restructuring our editorial team, dividing it into two so one could focus on our seedstock audience and the other on you, our commercial audience. Editor Shauna Hermel, Associate Editor Kasey Brown and Editorial Artist Mary Black can’t tell you how excited we are to be able to focus our efforts on you and developing the Angus Beef Bulletin and the digital Angus Beef Bulletin EXTRA into your go-to resources for the cattle business.

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 with a producer and opening a doorway to a host of resources within the American Angus Association. Programs like the Certified Angus Beef® (CAB®) brand deliver premiums for you in the marketplace, thereby increasing demand for Angus genetics. We’re confident commercial programs like Angus LinkSM and tools like Angus Black Book will do the same.

Today’s cattle industry is complicated by rising input costs, a fickle marketplace and pressure from outside industry forces. Stay informed on topics that affect your bottom line. Subscribe to the Angus Beef Bulletin and the Angus Beef Bulletin EXTRA.
