When you join the American Angus Association (AAA), you become a part of the world’s largest single beef breed organization in the world.
Your membership with AAA allows you to register Angus cattle, participate in Association programs and in decision making processes. All new members will receive a copy of the breeder's reference guide and three issues of the AAA 1,2,3 newsletter which provides information about Association policies, departments, programs and services.
If you are interested in receiving the Angus Journal, an invaluable tool for every Angus breeder, please be sure to indicate your subscription on your regular membership application. Junior members will automatically receive two youth oriented issues of the Journal (full subscriptions may be purchased at an additional cost).
If at any time we can be of assistance, please contact us. We look forward to having you as a member of the AAA.

When submitting the application please enclose the registration certificates of the Angus
cattle you now own. Association records are kept in member and non-member section of the files,
and the certificates will enable us to remove their record from the non-member group and place
them under your name in the membership section. Your registration certificates will be
re-issued showing your exact membership name and member code number. This will greatly
facilitate registration of new calves when you submit applications or transfer animals
you now own.Your membership is the name you will transact your business with the Association office, and in the registration and transfer of purebred Angus cattle. Always use your membership name and code number on applications and in your correspondence. When you buy registered animals be sure to request transfer to your exact membership name, to avoid the possibility of having to pay correction fees later.
Animal registrations must be on record in the Association office in exactly the same name of the membership in order to record calves. Adjustments of the records may be necessary to accomplish this. Such adjustments or corrections will be made without charge, unless, under certain conditions, it is deemed necessary to require transfers of the registrations. The certificates will be returned to you promptly.
