Angus Foundation Introduces New Angus Calf Tie to its Merchandise Portfolio

The new tie is available for purchase online at www.angusfoundation.org.

 

From shirts and jackets to sunglasses and beautiful prints, the Angus Foundation has many items available for sale that depict and represent the Angus breed. An exciting new feature in the Angus Foundation’s portfolio of merchandise is a beautiful 100 percent silk Angus calf tie. The tie is now available for purchase at www.angusfoundation.org.

 

Rockmount Ranch Wear, located in Denver, Colo., produced the new tie as it has several other ties the Angus Foundation has sold in the past. The popularity of the ties appeals to a broad spectrum of individuals, from ranchers to bankers.

 

This new beautiful rust and maroon colored tie includes the repeated word "Angus" that fades into an image of an Angus calf lying in the grass at the bottom. The Angus Foundation’s logo is integrated into the backside of the tie, along with the tie number label.   

 

“It’s always exciting to bring new items into our Angus Foundation’s merchandise apparel offering,” says Milford Jenkins, Angus Foundation president. “Start early on your Father’s Day or even Christmas gift shopping for this year by going online today and purchasing this silk Angus tie with the beautiful baby calf featured.”

 

Two other ties, also produced by Rockmount Ranch Wear, are also available to purchase. These ties, also 100 percent silk, include a maroon tie with an Angus bull head pattern that appears in horizontal rows and a tan tie with a prominent Angus bull interspersed in rows. All ties are $35 each. When online at www.angusfoundation.org, go to “Merchandise and Other Funding” in the left-hard navigation, and click “Merchandise.” You can also call 816-383-5100 with your tie order.

 

Sale proceeds from Angus Foundation merchandise, including the tie purchases, help support the Foundation’s youth, education and research programs.

 

The Angus Foundation was established in 1980 as a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization to support Angus education, youth and research. To learn more about the Angus Foundation and the programs it supports, call the American Angus Association® at 816-383-5100 or go to www.angusfoundation.org.
