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 1449 Angus with the American Angus Association® during fiscal year 2020, which ended Sept. 30, according to Mark McCully, Association chief executive officer. The 10 top recorders in Illinois are: Musgrave Angus, Griggsville; Prairie View Farm, Gridley; Panther Creek Ranch, Bowen; Callan Farms Inc, Stonington; Black Gold Genetics, Robinson; Tomlinson Farms, West Frankfort; Marvin Kramer, Farina; Hott Farms LLC, Sycamore; Bob Jon Angus, New Windsor; Rudow Family Cattle Co, Pana. Angus breeders across the nation in 2020 registered 305,531 head of Angus cattle. “Despite a challenging year, our Angus breeders continue to see strong demand for Angus genetics,” McCully said. “Our members are committed to providing genetic solutions to the beef cattle industry that maintain our long-held position as an industry leader.”
Learn By Doing – Apply Now for the Angus/Talon Youth Educational Learning Program Internship Often the best and quickest way to learn is to get out there and do it. The Talon internship is a hands-on learning opportunity for college students to gain new experiences while spending the summer working and learning on an Angus host ranch. Interns will learn about the industry while being molded molding into advocates for the entire beef and agricultural industry. Angus breeders have the opportunity to host an intern over the summer and welcome them to work alongside them on their operation. “One of the Angus Foundation’s initiatives is to encourage juniors to pursue educational experiences that allow them to explore the direction of their future career path,” said Thomas Marten, Angus Foundation executive director. “The Talon internship is a wonderful mentoring opportunity for both the interns and the host operations, where they learn from each other to further the beef industry and help the interns develop skillsets and discover opportunities for their own career goals.”

The internship honors the legacy of the late Camron “Cam” Cooper of the Talon Ranch, Twin Bridges, Montana. Cooper developed the Angus/Talon Youth Educational Learning Program Endowment Fund in 2009 to be a holistic educational experience for students. College sophomores, juniors, seniors and graduate students under the age of 25, majoring in an agriculturalrelated field of study, are eligible to apply for the internship. “I would encourage anyone, whether they are in the Angus breed or not, to pursue this internship. There are a lot of skills and networking opportunities available that will help them moving forward,” said Chase Brinegar, 2020 Talon intern. Throughout Brinegar’s internship at Bar 69 Ranch in Bella Fourche, South Dakota, he gained a vast network of contacts and mentors and built skills in the areas of horsemanship to bull marketing, just to name a few. Interns will also be able to participate in other Angus and beef cattle educational events and activities off the farm, such as conferences, field days and so on. The Talon Intern is compensated by the Angus Foundation through the Angus/Talon Youth Educational Learning Program Endowment Fund.
