Welcome
GREEN MOUNTAIN RED ANGUS
Welcome to Green Mountain RED Angus!
What a year! We have seen incredible sales stats, from feeder cattle to breeding stock. All indicators are saying that this market should remain steady. Consumer consumption has statistically remained the same throughout the last year, even with the increase in pricing. Demand for quality beef is strong! Many of you have been involved in the Red Angus Feeder Calf Certification Program (FCCP) and we have always offered ‘A-Bag-A-Bull.’ The FCCP Pro- gram has officially been rebranded as Angus Access, utilizing 840 EID tags, rather than the yellow dangle tag. Angus Access reflects a bold evolution of the beef industry’s first genetic, age and source verification program (FCCP) – built to USDA-approved stan- dards. In a marketplace that is increasingly adopting private labels and case-ready beef solutions, Angus Access equips Red Angus producers to meet that demand by offering the traceability, verification and data integrity desired today. It is a deliberate move to position Red Angus producers for success in the evolving landscape of beef production and retail. RAAA is committed to ensuring a smooth transition for current FCCP customers. Previously purchased dangle or combo tags are valid through July 1, 2027; however, beginning Jan. 1, 2026, 840 EID tags will become the only program-compliant tags issued for both Angus Access and Allied Access. This shift to EID technology is designed to improve traceability, reduce tag loss and meet the evolving requirements of domestic and export markets. It enables automated reading and data collection throughout the production chain, minimizing the need for manual visual reads at the backgrounder, feedlot and processor. The level of transparency enabled by EID technology is increasingly expected in vertically aligned beef supply chains. Programs that deliver verified, trans- parent production practices not only help meet the requirements of processors but also improve consumer trust. Studies show that programs backed by transparent production practices can increase consumer favorability by more than 80%, boosting brand loyalty and repeat purchases. Angus Access rebrand will position Red Angus producers at the forefront of a more transparent, data-informed and retail-connected beef industry. The crew at Green Mountain continues to work hard promoting our customers’ cattle. We have always encouraged participation in FCCP. The move to Angus Access supports broader industry efforts to secure recognition of Red Angus cattle within Angus-branded beef programs and will position Red Angus producer’s participation in premium markets. Our partnerships with Superior Livestock, Allied Feeding Partners, and Top Dollar Angus continue to allow us to provide marketing options and opportunities. We would like to thank you for putting your trust in our program. We hope you enjoy looking at the genetic packages offered in this catalog. Please reach out if you would like any additional information to help with your genetic selections. We look forward to seeing you on sale day!
