If you call the agriculture industry home, you know there’s weight to the work you do; and in the cattle industry, it takes a special kind of strength to survive.
But this July, we’re recognizing those who’ve dug a little deeper, to make sure the land we call home is protected. This July, we salute the service of veterans, active-duty members and the families who carry the weight of the American legacy.
This is for you — the strong, the brave, the proud, the free. We’re proud to be Angus, and we’re proud to be American.
