More about Certified Angus Beef

The best-tasting beef starts on sustainable farms and ranches, and our role is to help market that beef to global food distributors and grocery stores, so chefs and home cooks can serve their best meals. While doing that, we stay true to our farm beginnings with staff meals around the table, open-door conversations and neighborly friendships inside our Wooster, Ohio, home and beyond. We challenge each other and push the limits of beef innovation to help our customers thrive, yet fun and celebrations are always cherished. For more than 40 years, we’ve held these traditions close and they’ve helped make us a certified Great Place to Work®.
