American Angus Association

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The American Angus Association was founded in Chicago, Illinois, in 1883, with 60 members. Its original name was shortened in the 1950s from the American Aberdeen-Angus Breeders' Association. Its headquarters are now in Saint Joseph, Missouri, and includes offices for Angus Productions Inc., which publishes the Angus Journal and the Angus Beef Bulletin.

In the 1st century of operation, more than 10 million head were recorded. The American Angus Association records more cattle each year than any other beef breed association, making it the largest beef breed registry association in the world. In fiscal year ending September 30, 2010, it registered 297,087 head for 2009-10.[1]

The American Angus Association hosts an annual show for members each year at a new destination. Along with hosting shows for the youth, this association gives out scholarship awards to those participants who show an interest and passion for the lifestyle.
