Top Dollar Angus Helps Add Value To Feeder Cattle

The time has come for genetic certification to take its place in the U.S. feeder cattle market—especially for high-quality Angus genetics. Traditional markets often fail to differentiate top-tier Angus and Red Angus calves from generic black or red-hided feeder cattle, leaving premium genetics undervalued.

Top Dollar Angus is the first and only genetic certification program dedicated exclusively to Angus and Red Angus-influenced feeder cattle. This program targets cattle in the top 25% for growth and carcass traits, helping producers capture added value and stand out in today’s competitive market.
