The American Angus Association and Certified Angus Beef (CAB) will host a special program for commercial producers during the 2001 Cattle Industry Annual Convention and Trade Show, set for February 1-4 in San Antonio, Texas. "Improving Genetics Through Angus Technology" is the theme for the program, which will feature speakers from the American Angus Association commercial relations department and the CAB supply development division. The event is set for Friday, February 2, from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., and will be held in Salon 1 of the Grand Ballroom at the Marriott Rivercenter Hotel. "The American Angus Association and Certified Angus Beef Program are continuously working on programs and services that give commercial producers the edge in beef production and marketing," says Richard L. Spader, AAA executive vice president. "We are looking forward to this opportunity to share some of our newest technology with convention attendees in San Antonio." Speakers include Bill Bowman, AAA director of commercial relations, who will give an update on the Association's Angus Beef Record Service (BRS). BRS is a record keeping system that helps commercial producers track cow productivity and maximize the profitability of their herds. Dr. Francis L. Fluharty, who is a research scientist in the Department of Animal Science at the Ohio State University, will represent CAB on the program with a presentation titled "DNA Technology: Present Findings and Future Applications." Fluharty has been instrumental in research efforts to improve carcass quality through genetics. The program is open to all convention attendees and will include a sampling of CAB products. |
