AngusSource is a USDA Process Verified Program for Angus-sired calves that documents source,
group age and a minimum of 50% Angus genetics. To enroll in AngusSource producers must submit
the completed AngusSource Producer Participant Enrollment
Form/Agreement and complete the
training and cattle enrollment process. Once calves are enrolled they are identified with
an official program tag and an AngusSource Document is generated listing the source, age and
genetic information for the lot. All cattle enrolled in AngusSource that
are process verified will have the following shield displayed on their AngusSource Document.

Producers may customize the AngusSource Document for feeder cattle
and/or replacement females to include additional management, vaccination
and sale information. This Document is then added to the online AngusSource
Cattle Listing site and e-mailed out to nearly 600 individuals interested in
purchasing AngusSource cattle.
