What Benefits From Black Angus Verified Beef?
Black Angus Producers
Black Angus producers have worked hard to keep their genetics legitimate, and it's time those producers reap the financial benefits! Black Angus producers that obtain the Black Angus Verified Beef status will be able to prove to cattle buyers that what they say they are selling is authentic.
“We have been marketing our cattle with Superior Livestock for the past 15-plus years and partnered with IMI Global for the last several years. By enrolling in IMI Global's verification programs, including the new Black Angus Verified Beef program, we have been able to market our calves at a premium compared to non-program cattle. It was exciting to be the first lot to sell under the Black Angus Verified Beef program, and we appreciate the opportunity," said Corey Traxler of Traxler Ranch in Akron, Colo.
