Cattlemen and women across the United States allow the Angus team to tell their stories and help market their cattle. They hire Angus Media to make their program stand out, and turn to communications teams for all the entities — American Angus Association, Angus Media and Certified Angus Beef — for information on the breed and the industry. 

It’s a responsibility the team doesn’t take lightly, and both the Livestock Publications Council and the Agricultural Communicators Network recently honored Angus staff for that work they do. 

During the annual Agricultural Media Summit in Kansas City, Mo., this summer, the combined Angus team took home 23 first place awards and an additional 33 seconds, thirds and honorable mentions in the two organizations’ contests across multiple categories.
