There are many things Angus Media can do with a photo but changing the structure of the animal is not allowed. This is viewed as unethical. It is the policy of the American Angus Association and Angus Media to not change the physical structure of any photographed animal sent in for use in advertising. This helps to assure the readers that what they see in our published products is what they will see when going to view the actual animal.

Angus Media Photo Services will be more than happy to make other changes which are considered to have cosmetic relevance to the setting the photo was taken in:

• Change backgrounds
• Remove mud and manure
• Remove people
• Remove objects such as fence posts, building, trucks
• Colorize a black and white photo
• Rotate (sometimes this will help the back-line to appear straighter without touching the animal).
