As general manager, Perry developed an Angus program that balances all economically relevant traits in cattle that maintain structural soundness and phenotype. Each year, more than 500 bulls are marketed through three sales. Perry and his wife established the Hickory House restaurant in 2014, and it specializes in serving 100% CAB-branded product. Roger Wann, Poteau, Okla., was elected to the American Angus Association Board in 2022. He was raised on a multigenerational commercial cow-calf ranch. After the purchase of commercial Angus cows and one Angus bull, the benefits of Angus genetics became clear. After graduating from OSU, he earned a master's in physiology of reproduction from Texas A&M and began a career with ABS Global, where he helped cattle producers learn the value of efficient reproductive management programs. Wann Ranch hosts an annual production sale.He served on the board for the Oklahoma Cattlemen's Association and Oklahoma Angus Association and has helped develop its Angus feeder-calf sale.  John Stika, CAB president, leads the American Angus Association's consumer-facing subsidiary. The brand that is owned by registered Angus breeders and operates to create pull-through demand for Angus cattle has grown to more than 1.234 billion pounds of sales annually under his leadership. He joined CAB in 1999 in feeder-packer relations division, before working in business development and assuming the role of president in 2006. He's a Kansas farm boy, with degrees in animal and meat science from Kansas State University and the University of Kentucky.  RELATED READING: Close, But No Certification Angus Releases New Teat and Udder Research EPDs Angus Releases Cow Longevity Prediction AGI White Paper Looks at Future of Phenotyping, Commercial Data Producers to be Paid Grid Premiums for AngusLink Beef Scores Don't miss news in the Angus breed.

EPISODE 20 DETAILS TEXAS WILDFIRE CATTLE LOSSES RISE; PROCESSORS RISE TO THE OCCASION Cattle losses from the historic Texas Panhandle wildfire are mounting, as ranchers and ag authorities assess the damage. The count is at 7,000 head and rising as the cleanup from the Lone Star State's largest-ever wildfire continues; the Texas Dept. of Agriculture expects to add thousands more to the tally. While that's a small fraction of Texas's nation-leading 12-million-head herd, the local effects are devastating. The losses in Oklahoma are obviously fewer than Texas, but a multitude of donation centers have been set up just over the border in Oklahoma, including that of the Oklahoma Cattlemen's Association Foundation. The link for them is in the show notes along with other organizations rallying together that are coordinating donations like the Working Ranch Cowboys Association, The Texas Farm Bureau, and the Texas & Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association.  Head to ranchitupshow.com to find their direct links. WHERE TO DONATE A number of organizations are working very hard to help manage the donations that are coming in across the country.  Here are a few places to look into should you want to donate and assist.   Working Ranch Cowboys Association https://wrca.org/ @wrcarodeo   Texas & Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association https://tscra.org/ @tscra   Texas Farm Bureau https://texasfarmbureau.org/ @TexasFarmBureau   Oklahoma Cattlemen's Association Foundation https://www.oklahomacattlemensfoundation.com/wildfire-disaster-relief   Fire & Smoke Map https://fire.airnow.gov/   CANADA INVESTS IN ANIMAL DISEASE PREVENTION Our friends to the north are investing in animal disease prevention.  The Canadian government announced an investment of C$1.7 million to Animal Health Canada (AHC) to support its role in preventing foreign animal diseases such as African Swine Fever (ASF) and Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD). Nearly C$1 million of the funds from Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada's African Swine Flu Industry Preparedness Program will help AHC coordinate prevention efforts against an African Swine Flu outbreak on Canada's swine industry.  Meanwhile, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) is contributing nearly C$698,000 to AHC to support efforts over the next two years to boost preparedness for African Swine Flu and Foot and Mouth Disease. The money will fund surveillance data analysis, training, and the development of a vaccine strategy in the event of a Foot and Mouth Disease outbreak in Canada. The announcement comes as African Swine Flu continues to spread to new lands. Albania, for example, reported its first case last week, making it the 28th European country to confirm African Swine Flu since it was first found on the continent in 2007.   BEEF PACKER MARGINS IMPROVE BUT REMAIN DEEPLY RED Despite some improvements, beef packer margins continue to struggle in 2024. According to the latest Sterling Beef Profit Tracker, packer margins for the week ending March 2 were -$105.69/head, versus a profit of $8.17/head a year ago. Higher feed costs, meanwhile, contributed to a $1.75/head loss for feedlot margins the week ending March 2, down from a $14.19 profit a week ago (but above early February's $54.31 loss). A year ago, feedlot margin was a profit of $170.02/head. Annual projections still have feedlot margins at a $132.75 profit for 2024, down from $264.47 in 2023; packer margins, meanwhile, are currently estimated at a $36 loss this year, versus a flat $0.22 profit in 2023.  Again, that is according to the Sterling Beef Profit Tracker. .
