The Targeting the Brand logo is designed to highlight registered Angus bulls with greater genetic potential to produce calves meeting the most challenging specifications of the Certified Angus Beef ® brand. Bulls must meet genetic requirements of +.65 Marbling EPD and +55 $Grid of non-parent Angus sires to qualify for use of the Targeting the Brand™ logo. Sire-identified carcass data from more than 8,600 records in the American Angus Association database show these minimum thresholds for Marbling and $G achieve an average of 50% CAB acceptance. While a sire’s genetic potential only accounts for a portion of marbling performance in a calf crop, these benchmarks provide commercial cattlemen a starting place to identify genetics that will go on to bring performance premiums on quality beef grids. Cattlemen choosing to make more significant carcass advancement or those already achieving 50% or higher CAB acceptance may set bull selection criteria above Targeting the Brand™ baselines.
