ANGUS TAGS

Progeny of registered Angus bulls are worth more money because they carry well documented, predictable Angus genetics.

An increasing number of backgrounders, feedlotters, finishers and processors are demanding real Angus genetics and are prepared to pay substantial premiums. This is because their clients both in Australia and overseas specify Angus. But the want real Angus, not Angus look-a-likes.

Angus Australia has responded to this demand by establishing a tagging system to enable commercial breeders to clearly identify progeny carrying real Angus genetics, and to assist your buyers to identify these cattle.

IDENTIFICATION:

The yellow ASA ASSURED ANGUS™ tags that identify straightbred commercial Angus sired by REGISTERED ANGUS BULLS became available in 2000.

ASA ANGUS ASSURED™ tags identify commercial straightbred Angus steers and females as being:

• By registered Angus sires
• From straight bred Angus females
• Bred by members of AngusAustralia

The blue ASA ANGUS SIRED™ tags identify crossbred cattle sired by REGISTERED ANGUS BULLS.

ASA ANGUS SIRED™ tags identify commercial crossbred Angus steers and females as being:

• By registered Angus sires
• From Angus infused or from non-Angus females
• Bred by members of Angus Australia

When the buyers see cattle carrying the ASA tags each with a unique identification number, they can buy and sell these cattle with confidence knowing there is a high probability the cattle will perform as real Angus should.

ASA tags are only available to members of the Angus Society of Australia (including commercial members) who agree to operate under the code of practice covering the tags.
