As a member of the American Angus Association, you can take advantage of the several benefits a membership offers. However, we would like to announce the addition of Member Rewards. The most valuable benefit the American Angus Association offers is registration papers on individual animals and verified documentation of an animal’s pedigree and potential performance. You also gain access to the largest database of Angus genetics. 

With 84 million data points, you can make profit-minded breeding decisions and utilize the most accurate expected progeny differences (EPDs) available to the breed. You can unlock access to the Powered by Angus^SM logo. All members can use this logo on their registered Angus cattle to show their power of the data, programs and pedigree. Active members also have the benefit from being a part of the decision-making process guiding the Association’s development. Elect or become a delegate to represent local interests at the national level.

The American Angus Association would like to thank everyone for their membership. To make it even better, I would like to announce Member Rewards as part of your membership to the American Angus Association. Now you can unlock savings that will enhance your operation with corporate partners who want to provide services for our membership.

The first partner is MJE/LE Livestock Equipment based out of Montezuma, Kan. With more than fifty years in the livestock equipment and feedlot supply business, MJE/LE is ready to offer 10% off any of their painted product line. Their product lines are all made in America and use all American-made steel. I would encourage everyone to visit their website.

The second Member Rewards partner is Bass Pro Shops and Cabela’s. They are the leader in all outdoor equipment, guns and clothing that everyone can enjoy. They are offering American Angus Association members up to 30% off brand items, 15% discount for all other brands and a 5% discount for guns and ammo.

As we move forward with the Member Rewards offering, we will continue to look for more industry partners that can offer goods and services members will find useful for their operations.

To access these rewards, go to www.angus.org/member-center/member-rewards. You will see the current industry partners on this page, and you will be able to click on their logo to learn more and see if the reward offered is right for you.
