In the United States, market steers and heifers spend their time eating and growing until they are taken to market. Breeding cows are typically left on pasture all summer with their calves and bred via a bull in the herd in the early summer months. The calves are weaned and sent to a grower lot in the fall and the cows are turned back out on winter pasture. They calve in the spring, and the cycle starts over until they are removed from the breeding herd.

When was the Certified Angus Beef program formed?
The Certified Angus Beef (CAB) program is where cattle producers can get a premium for raising and selling Angus cattle, or cattle that are black with some Angus breeding in them, for beef. It's also a marketing initiative to get more consumers to buy more beef that is labelled as "certified Angus" due to the implied higher quality and consistency this type of beef would have over non-CAB-labelled beef. Unfortunately, it's all marketing, and not all beef that gets this label is from purebred Angus cattle.
