Rewarding excellence
Every fall, Certified Angus Beef LLC (CAB) celebrates its successes during the past year, and honors key players from producers to retailers for the exceptional work they do to incorporate the Certified Angus Beef ® brand into their business activities.
The CAB Commitment to Excellence Award is given to seedstock and commercial producers who excel in implementing a quality focus to herd management. These producers work hard to build connections with feedlots and other producers to utilize carcass data that improves the quality of their cattle.
Producers and feedlots can nominate deserving candidates online or print a nomination form and submit it by mail prior to the May 1 deadline.
