Cecil’s Angus roots began in 1928, before his birth, when his parents purchased their first Angus heifer. His father’s advice, “Stay in the middle of the road” when breeding cattle, is still the rule of thumb at McCurry Angus Ranch near Hutchinson, Kan.

Denoted as Angus cheerleaders, Cecil and Sandra McCurry promote the Angus breed and CAB brand to all who will listen. Cecil was on the Kansas Angus Association state board of directors in the 1980s, serving as president in 1988. He also served on the Association Board of Directors from 1995 to 2001.

A lifetime member of the American Angus Auxiliary, Sandra received the Distinguished Woman Award in 2003.
