Our Commitment
Your beef tastes better when it’s raised by family farmers and ranchers who prioritize eco-responsibility and sustainability, caring for the land, cattle and local community.
Here Is How It Works:
Caring for Cattle
We consider Beef Quality Assurance and VBP+ certifications our baseline for cattle care, ensuring cattle are handled in a safe, humane and sustainable way.
Improving the Environment
We want to leave the land better than we found it by investing in the open grasslands where cattle are raised and helping to protect these vital ecosystems.
Putting People First
The best-tasting beef is made possible by quality people. We support the local communities where our beef is raised and enjoyed.
Caring for Cattle
WHEN IT COMES TO ANIMAL CARE, THE RIGHT WAY IS THE ONLY WAY
Family farmers and ranchers prioritize the well-being of their cattle, driven not just by duty but a deep-seated passion to raise the best beef for your family. Caring for animals isn’t just a chore—it is who we are.
Compassionate Animal Welfare
At Certified Angus Beef, our baseline standards for animal care are Beef Quality Assurance (BQA) and VBP+ certification programs. They provide farmers and ranchers with educational resources and confirm cattle handlers are certified to follow best practices for humane animal care.
Canadian Roundtable for Sustainable Beef
Certified Angus Beef is a proud member of the Canadian Roundtable for Sustainable Beef (CRSB) and supports a commitment to environmental, social and economic sustainability in Canadian beef.
Fostering Biodiversity
CATTLE RANCHERS PROTECT VITAL ECOSYSTEMS
Grasslands where cattle graze is essential for environmental health. We are committed to thoughtful resource utilization, sustainable beef production, and positive environmental impact.
Where the Buffalo Roamed
Bison once helped the prairies thrive by fertilizing and capturing carbon naturally. Today, cattle farmers and ranchers replicate this, preserving vital ecosystems. Without cattle, these grasslands, and their benefits, would vanish.
Focusing on People First
RELATIONSHIPS ARE AT THE HEART OF OUR BUSINESS
We are committed to building better communities by fostering meaningful connections. We provide our staff and partners with a supportive environment and the tools they need to succeed, while upholding ethical and sustainable practices throughout the supply chain, from farm to fork.
Fostering Strong Communities
Farms and ranches offer more than just food; they create jobs, boost rural economies and care for the land to enhance the local environment. Strong communities are fundamental to rural life, and this sense of local community is a core value of the Certified Angus Beef® brand.
Investing in Local Community Service
Certified Angus Beef encourages community service by engaging as a team in annual service projects and providing each staff member with paid community service hours to make an individual contribution to their local communities.
