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. 

MN Junior Red Angus Association

We are about helping our MN Junior Red Angus members stay connected and informed on what is taking place in our association.

Meet Our Current Ambassador!

Hello everyone! My name is Bridget Weese of J&B Cattle Company. I just graduated from South Dakota State University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Animal Science Production Management and Agricultural Marketing back in December.

I look forward to serving this year as the MN Jr. Ambassador! My passion for the Red Angus breed not only comes from these incredible cattle, but also from all of you. I feel such gratitude and fulfillment being able to work with all of the wonderful people this breed brings together. Many doors have been opened for me because I am a part of this organization. My goal is to help create the same opportunities for other MNRA members as well. If any of our MN Red Angus families need any assistance wither it be showmanship & feeding advice, registration/paperwork tasks, or anything in between please don’t hesitate to reach out! It’s an honor to hold this title, I’m so excited for what this year will bring.
