(NDAgConnection.com) – At the conclusion of its fiscal year, the Certified Angus Beef (CAB)-brand product recorded the second-largest-ever sales volume in fiscal 2022, with total sales culminating in 1.234 billion pounds (lb.), a 1.6% increase on the prior year.

The sum was narrowly below the brand’s 2019 record 1.25 billion lb. sold.

Total cattle supply improvement offered a helping hand with CAB-licensed packers identifying 16.38 million fed cattle eligible for the brand.

That’s 70% of steers and heifers meeting the Angus-type live animal requirement, 1.7% more cattle than a year ago.
