AngusSource is a USDA Process Verified Program for Angus-sired calves that documents
source, group age and a minimum of 50% Angus genetics. A second tier of the AngusSource
PVP called Gateway verifies source and group age only. To enroll in AngusSource
or Gateway producers must submit the completed
AngusSource/Gateway Producer Participant Enrollment Form/Agreement
and complete the training and cattle enrollment process. Once calves are enrolled
they are identified with an official
program tag
and an AngusSource or Gateway Verification Certificate is generated listing the
source, age and genetic (AngusSource only) information for the lot. All cattle enrolled
in AngusSource and Gateway that are process verified will have the following shield
displayed on their Verification Certificate.
