 Successful verification of our Black Angus
Beef means our products can display the
Angus Beef verification stamp, which
signals that our products are verified to
meet our standard. The standard is 100%
Angus parentage: Angus sire, Angus Dam
*Genotypic and Phenotypic assessment
While the genotype, or genetic makeup of
our Angus is of critical importance in our
selection process, phenotypic assessment
is also significant.
Our animals must be 100% Black Angus,
meaning animals packed under the Black
Angus Verification program must be
entirely black hided, with acceptable white
hair around the udder. |
This requirement is more stringent
than Angus programs overseas where
red, white and blue roan hides may
be permitted also.
**Raising Claims
The raising claim Angus relates to the
production of meat that is derived from
animals described as Angus. While
other Angus brands comply with the
minimum of 75% Angus genetics
required to describe an animal as
Angus, Rangers Valley Angus have
the highest possible percentage of
Angus genetics, far exceeding this
minimum. In addition, Angus steers
must be sired by Black Angus bulls
of known pedigree from commercial
Black Angus cows and comply with
Angus Society of Australia regulations.
Rangers Valley animals are bred to the
highest possible percentage of Angus
genetics and comply with all Angus
Society of Australia regulations. |
