I Am Angus Season Premiere Broadcasts Nov. 19
Back for its fourth year, the program airs at 8 p.m. EST next Monday on
RFD-TV.
America’s farms, ranches and the communities that surround them are considered by many as the country’s last, best places. They are a direct connection to the past; an essential venture for the future. The hard-working cattlemen who call these places home are committed to preserving the rural way of life and raising quality beef for consumers. Join the American Angus Association® as it travels to these captivating areas in its hour-long documentary, I Am Angus.
Beginning its fourth season, I Am Angus premieres at 8 p.m. Eastern (7 p.m. Central) Monday, Nov. 19 on RFD-TV. A second broadcast is set for 10 p.m. Eastern (9 p.m. Central) Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 22. Produced entirely by the Association, the upcoming episode explores the golden age of the cattle business and how ranchers continue to serve as stewards of the land.
“The I Am Angus premiere episode takes us back to historic Chicago, and how the area shaped modern agriculture as we know it,” says Eric Grant, Association public relations and communications director. “We also feature ranchers from the open spaces of South Dakota, to the rolling hills of Oklahoma. It’s an entertaining look inside today’s cattle industry.”
focuses on the heart of the Angus cattle business — its people, their heritage and why they are involved in agriculture. The hour-long documentary series explores each corner of the beef industry, Angus heritage, and how animal agriculture meets the challenge of feeding a growing population.
