Minnesota Red Angus Association

Promoting Red Angus Cattle in Minnesota

Why Choose Red Angus?

Excellent Maternal Traits

Calving ease bar none, high rate of milk production making them excellent mothers that produced heavy weaning calves. 

Reproduction Traits

Reproduction is the number one factor that influences profitability. The number and quality of the calves on the ground at the end of calving season represents the potential economic received on the herd bull investment. Red Angus breeders have focused on increasing the performance of their cattle, but have not lost sight of the importance of calving ease. As a result, the genetic trends of Red Angus show a strong increase in growth with only a small change in birth weight. Red Angus cows are early maturing, easy breeders who deliver live, vigorous calves and breed back within a very short time. 

Quiet, Easy Going
Dispositions

The gentle dispositions of Red Angus cattle make them a pleasure to own and work with no matter of age, locale or operation.  Because of their gentle dispositions, many young people enjoy involvement with Red Angus cattle in junior shows throughout the nation in 4-H, FFA and open shows.  These are the Red Angus breeders of the future and the future of the Red Angus breed.

Meet Our Current Ambassador!

Hello, I am Brooke Calteaux. I am a freshman at the University of Wisconsin-River Falls, majoring in Agricultural Education with a minor in Agricultural Business. I am currently serving as the President of the Minnesota Junior Red Angus Association, as well as the Minnesota Red Angus Breed Ambassador. Over the years, I have held the positions of Secretary, Treasurer, and Breed Ambassador. As part of my role, I've helped with our annual summer show in June. I’m also involved in the planning of various activities, including a meet and greet at the MN State Fair with a caramel apple bar and a taco lunch during the Minnesota Beef Expo. I have also planned activities for the Juniors at both the MN State Red Angus Show and the North American Junior Red Angus Event (NAJRAE).

Being active in the Red Angus breed and the beef industry has opened many doors for me! I am very thankful for the opportunity to serve as your 2022-23 Ambassador and President for the breed I love and have a true passion for.
