Sale dates set for AngusSource tagged calves

Sep 24, 2007 9:32 AM


To assist Angus producers in capturing added value from their participation in AngusSource, the American Angus Association has announced several fall sale dates. These scheduled sales will group AngusSource tagged calves as well as other age- and source-verified calves.

Current industry reports document $15-$25 per head premiums are being realized for age- and source-verified cattle. Reports indicate the genetic verification of Angus calves, such as AngusSource, are adding an additional $30 per head more than non-Angus calves.
