Editorial/Production Calendars
The Angus Beef Bulletin delivers information commercial cattlemen need to make the most of their investment in Angus genetics while providing a platform for Angus seedstock providers and industry affiliates to advertise genetics, products and services of interest to our audience. The print publication is mailed five times per year, while the Angus Beef Bulletin EXTRA electronic newsletter and the Angus At Work podcast are each published twice per month. Here’s a peek at our current editorial/production calendars.
