 "We’ve always thought our calves were better than average cattle that sold for the same price. Now, with individual carcass data we get from U.S. Premium Beef, we know how much better. On more than 1,000 head of our home-raised Angus calves, we’ve averaged 25% Prime, 96% Choice and 40% have qualified for Certified Angus Beef® (CAB). USPB’s premiums for Prime, Choice, CAB and National Black Angus Beef® (NAB) carcasses helped us earn over $60 per head more than what we would have received on the cash market. On top of that grid premium, we’ve also received an average dividend of almost $20 per head from the value-added earnings of our processing company, National Beef, each year."
