House flies, stable flies, face flies and horn flies are pervasive and resilient pests. Make the most of your control efforts by incorporating ClariFly® Larvicide Top-Dress Fly Control into your integrated pest management (IPM) program. The ideal program incorporating Starbar® products will hit flies where they breed and can help reduce populations to manageable levels. Existing adult flies will not be affected. Start feeding before flies appear and continue use until cold weather marks the end of the fly season.

In 1954, seven pioneering families leveraged Red Angus to pioneer the industry’s inaugural performance registry. The Red Angus Association of America has steadfastly upheld this mission, garnering commendation for its unwavering commitment to leadership and ingenuity. By making the right choices over time and ignoring the short-term pressures of industry fads, the beef industry’s demand for Red Angus genetics is at an all-time high.
The ultimate goal was to initiate a system to objectively evaluate and select cattle based on traits of economic importance, and to build an Association that would adopt and embrace scientific innovation.
In 1954, when the Association took this bold move to build a Performance Registry, the scientific community had not even settled on using 205 days to serve as the age to which weaning weights would be adjusted. While reporting weaning data has become second nature for Red Angus breeders, very few breed associations mandate performance data as a requirement for registration.
Dominate the beef industry with Red Angus genetics.
The Story of Red Angus is about people and their vision, determination, perserverance and willingness to swim upstream against conventional wisdom.
Create Market Demand
20% of the U.S. beef cattle inventory will be Red Angus influenced by 2030.
Our mission is to provide our members and their customers with innovative programs and services, to continue advancing the quality, reliability and value of Red Angus and Red Angus-influenced seedstock used in the commercial beef industry.
Quantify and communicate Red Angus advantage in stakeholder profitability and sustainability
