Certified Red Angus Feeder Calf Sales
In cooperation with state and regional Red Angus associations and area sale barns, the Red Angus Association conducts certified Red Angus feeder calf sales all across the country. Developed to be used by any size cow/calf producer, these sales are held in conjunction with an established sale barn's feeder calf sale. All cattle consigned to these sales must be certified and carrying the Red Angus FCCP ear tag. If you would like information on possible certified Red Angus feeder calf sales in your area, contact the RAAA National Office.

Retained Ownership / Pooling of Cattle
The RAAA continues to develop strong relationships with the commercial cattle-feeding sector of the industry, and can assist you with the placement of retained ownership cattle in yards that are familiar with and excited about feeding Red Angus cattle. If you have a collective group of cattle, or have the ability to put one together within your area, the National Office offers assistance in marketing complete load lots. If you have questions about retained ownership, or would like information on pooling opportunities in your area, you are encouraged to contact the National Office.

On The Rail: The Finished Product
Industry efforts continue to align producers, feeders, and packers, and introduce quality and consistency through branded beef products. Red Angus cattle enrolled in the FCCP and sold through one of our procurement partners demonstrate superior carcass traits and consistently hit the specs. Overall, Certified Red Angus Cattle are producing carcasses that consistently fit within the window of acceptability.
- Carcasses weigh between 550 & 950 pounds 99.2% of the time.
- 66.8% of the carcasses qualify for the USDA Choice grade Of those grading Choice, 27.5% qualify for several approved "Angus" products and other premium branded beef programs.
- Carcasses produce minimal YG 4s (1.5%) and 0% YG 5s, while achieving a consistent level of YG 1s and 2s.
