Certified Angus Beef Program to tell story of Florida Producer
|
 The Certified Angus Beef program, a not-for-profit division of the American Angus Association, is profiling producers from across the country to display on the Certified Angus Beef brand website at www.certifiedangusbeef.com and in brochures, posters and additional promotional materials.
Dr. Bill Freel of Country Oaks Angus Ranch in Weirsdale, Florida is one such producer. Freel, a large animal veterinarian and long-time cowman, raises commercial and registered Angus Cattle.
 Because of the recent interest in locally grown food by consumers, Certified Angus Beef is telling the stories of their producers. "Our licensed grocery store, foodservice distribution and restaurant partners have long wanted to create more of a connection to cattlemen and women," said Kara Wilson, Marketing/Management Specialist with Certified Angus Beef.
What is Certified Angus Beef? It's so good, less than 8% of all beef makes the grade. Other labels may say Angus, but that's where the similarities end. The difference is in the flavor. And that's where the Certified Angus Beef brand sets the bar. Beef must pass 10 stringent quality specifications to earn the brand's premium mark, ensuring you always enjoy flavorful, tender, juicy cuts of beef. Every pound of Certified Angus Beef product is tracked for assured product integrity. The Certified Angus Beef brand - truly Angus beef at its best. Their reputation for excellence began over 30 years ago. Today, the Certified Angus Beef brand is sold in the United States and in 45 international destinations by more than 13,500 discerning restaurants and grocery stores. |
