Accelerated Genetics' Angus sire lineup was recognized by Certified Angus Beef, LLC (CAB) as presenting very strong carcass genetics that can help cattlemen hit the target.
"We compliment Accelerated Genetics on assembling a lineup of Angus sires that offer a balance of performance, maternal and carcass traits," says Mark McCully, Director of Supply Development Certified Angus Beef, Inc.
Today, consumers are demanding higher-quality beef, thus encouraging cattle producers to take a closer look at genetic decisions ensuring they are producing a superior product. Producers can utilize powerful genetic tools with Angus EPDs that allow breeders to add a carcass emphasis while making progress with functional traits.
"A large percentage of the Angus bulls in the Accelerated Genetics lineup meet or exceed the CAB Best Practices Manual recommendations," says McCully. The CAB Best Practices Manual assists producers in implementing strategies to best raise their cattle, but everything starts with genetics and that is why CAB has set EPD recommendations for marbling, $Grid Index ($G), backfat and ribeye area. Recently, Accelerated Genetics designated sires on their webstie that meet or exceed these EPD qualifications with the CAB Targeting the Brand logo. To view the list go to:
