National Junior Angus Show Heads to Des Moines Junior Angus members will meet in Iowa July 9-15, 2017. The National Junior Angus Show (NJAS) is the highlight of the summer for many Angus families, and in 2017 the big event takes place July 9-15 in Des Moines, Iowa. While the cattle shows are the main attraction, the week also includes the showmanship competition, junior activities and a variety of life-skills contests. “The National Junior Angus Show is an exciting event for Angus youth and their families across the country,” says Jaclyn Clark, events and education director for the American Angus Association. “It is more than just a traditional cattle show. It’s an event that challenges youth to build life skills and develop long-lasting relationships.” Sponsored by the Iowa Junior Angus Association, the NJAS is themed “Winning with the Angus Team!” The weeklong event kicks off with the Parade of States during the Opening Ceremonies at the Iowa State Fairgrounds. Iowa has hosted the show as recently as 2008, and is excited to make this event a fun-filled and educational week for junior Angus enthusiasts from across the country, as well as their families. NJAS Cattle Shows More than 1,200 head of cattle are expected to compete in the showring at the 2017 NJAS in Iowa. The classes offered will provide opportunities for juniors to exhibit their owned heifers, bred-and-owned heifers, cow-calf pairs, steers, and bred-andowned bulls. Additional events will include the National Showmanship Contest, NJAS Carcass Steer Contest, cook-off contests, and educational contests that include: prepared and extemporaneous public speaking, career development, graphic design, writing, photography, livestock judging, and video and poster competitions. Stay tuned to the NJAA website for contest and entry deadlines. Support the Show The NJAS committee has organized several fundraisers to help support the 2017 event. The first is the Embryo Lottery, which will offer 20 premier embryo packages from some of the most notable bloodlines in the country. Mary Greiman will be selling tickets at the American Royal and the North American International Livestock Exposition (NAILE), and Trisha and Colby Holmes will be at the Angus Convention. Look for them to purchase your tickets. An online auction will be hosted Jan. 19, 2017, through Angus Live. Items currently listed are units of semen, bull collection and freezing services, embryo flushing and transfer services, and advertising in leading beef industry publications. There’s still room for more, so if you’re interested in being a consignor, please contact the Greimans. If you’re attending the National Western Stock Show (NWSS) this January in Denver, Colo., the Angus Foundation will be featuring two items during its evening auction to benefit the 2017 NJAS. More information regarding the NJAS program and the National Junior Angus Association (NJAA) can be accessed online. www.illinoisbeef.com

American Angus Association Announces the Ten Illinois Breeders Who Registered the Most Angus The 10 producers who registered the most Angus beef cattle in the state of Illinois recorded a total of 1949 Angus with the American Angus Association® during fiscal year 2016, which ended Sept. 30, according to Allen Moczygemba, Association chief executive officer. The 10 top recorders in Illinois are: Pasture View Farm, Dunlap; Curtin Land & Cattle, Blue Mound; Werner Angus, Cordova; Rock River Ranch LP, Mount Morris; Musgrave Angus, Griggsville; Panther Creek Ranch, Bowen; Prairie View Farm, Gridley; Horsley Bros, Galva; Sundberg Farms, Mendota; Black Gold Genetics, Robinson. Angus breeders across the nation in 2016 registered 334,607 head of Angus cattle. “Our growth this fiscal year continues to demonstrate strong demand for Angus genetics and solidifies our long-held position as a leader in the beef cattle industry,” Moczygemba says. “These results underscore our members’ commitment to providing genetic solutions to the beef cattle industry.” ANGUS MEANS BUSINESS. The American Angus Association is the nation’s largest beef breed organization, serving nearly 25,000 members across the United States, Canada and several other countries. The Association provides programs and services to farmers, ranchers and others who rely on Angus to produce quality genetics for the beef industry and quality beef for consumers.

Certified Angus Beef Brand Achieves Record Sales for 10th Consecutive Year For the 10th year in a row, Certified Angus Beef LLC reported record sales of its signature Certified Angus Beef ® brand, marketing 1.015 billion pounds of product in fiscal 2016 (ending Sept. 30). The increase of 13.3 percent represented an additional 119 million pounds of product sold by a network of more than 18,000 licensed partners worldwide. “Thanks to a dramatic positive shift in the supply of high-quality Angus cattle, our partners were able to deliver more of the highest quality beef to consumers while supporting ranch families and rural communities,” said brand president John Stika. “Our partners’ collective achievement – from the farm to the table – illustrates the relevance of our mission established nearly 40 years ago. By delivering unique experiences and value to consumers, our individual partners succeed as well.” Monthly sales records and category growth The Certified Angus Beef ® brand set sales records in all 12 months of fiscal 2016. Furthermore, eight of the 10 best sales months in the brand’s 38-year history were set in fiscal 2016. Sales of more than 90 million pounds in July, August and September reflected partners’ strong marketing and promotional activity during grilling season. Growth was balanced across product categories. Backed by traditionally strong demand, particularly for consumers’ celebrations and special occasions, sales of premium steaks (middle meats) grew by 11.4 percent. End meat sales grew by 87 million pounds, and ground beef sales increased by 8.5 million pounds. Illustrating the appeal of premium beef to the most discerning consumers, sales of the brand’s Prime product extension grew by more than 26 percent. Divisional success After six years of deceleration, retail division sales exploded with 18.5 percent growth, or 68 million pounds. Quality-focused retailers have long represented the largest portion of brand sales – 43 percent in fiscal 2016 – but lower beef prices linked to increased supply encouraged more consumers to choose beef for family meals more often. Plus, grocery partners aggressively featured brand items in their circulars, further driving sales. The foodservice division, already on a well-established path of growth, enjoyed its seventh consecutive year of record sales: 355 million pounds, a 6.3 percent increase. Three-quarters of the brand’s licensed distributors grew their business by an average 9.3 percent. Sales to licensed restaurants also increased 10 percent, demonstrating the brand’s relevance and value to chefs, restaurateurs and customers. International sales of the Certified Angus Beef ® brand reached a new record of 138 million pounds in 49 countries. Sales in Japan, historically important for U.S. beef, more than doubled in fiscal 2016, thanks to the efforts of partners strongly committed to the brand. Sales in Mexico also increased a notable 16 percent. Processors responded to growing consumer demand for highquality convenience meals in both retail and foodservice with branded value-added products. Sales were up by 8.9 percent, driven by key items including smoked brisket, marinated fajita meat and fresh corned beef. Family farmers’ focus on quality leads to increased supply Family farmers and ranchers have been the foundation of the Certified Angus Beef ® brand since its start; their efforts to raise quality cattle meeting the brand’s 10 exacting standards enable licensed processors, distributors, restaurateurs and retailers to meet consumers’ growing demand for premium beef. A few years after a devastating drought across much of the United States, these families finally saw the fruits of their efforts to rebuild herds. Beyond simply adding more cattle, they improved the quality of their herds with a strong focus on Angus genetics and the brand’s quality target in mind. As a result, the rate of cattle eligible to earn the brand name rose to a record 28.9 percent, up from just 14 percent a decade ago. The collective improvement in cattle translated into increased supply for the brand of 440,000 head, or 115 million pounds of branded product. 6
