ABOUT US
Have you invested in elite seedstock genetics?
Top Dollar Angus is the first and only certification program for commercial feeder cattle focused exclusively on Angus and Red Angus-based cattle with top 25% growth and carcass traits.
If you are a cow/calf producer and have been using genetics that meet these parameters, you are in position to achieve a premium at market.
“Why did I develop Top Dollar Angus? Because cattle feeders are looking for superior genetics that grow rapidly and grade well.
Why? Simply put, cattle that dollar-up better for everyone in the supply chain are worthy of premium prices. Identifying those cattle early in their life is what Top Dollar Angus is all about.”
