Circle A Angus adds CAB feedlot
Certified Angus Beef
Circle A Angus Ranch opened a 5,000 head, all-under-roof feedlot in Huntsville, Mo. in May. Circle A Feeders is the only finishing yard in Missouri to join the Certified Angus Beef LLC (CAB) Feedlot Licensing Program (FLP).
The FLP is designed to reward producers for high-quality cattle that meet Certified Angus Beef ® brand specifications. Partner feedlots enroll cattle in the FLP, and licensed packers pay premiums for those that qualify for the brand. Circle A joins a network of 63 CAB feedlots in 15 states.
General manager Mark Akin says Circle A Feeders is unique because it focuses on buying calves from customers that utilize Circle A Angus genetics. The feedlot purchases 100% interest in steer and heifer calves that are offspring of bulls and females bought directly from Circle A customers are eligible for premiums of up to $45 a head for these calves.
