Callaway third among Angus cattlemen

Blake W. Callaway, of Rayle, is ranked as the third largest cattleman in registering the most Angus beef cattle in Georgia for 2006.

Having recorded 432 head of Angus with the American Angus Association (AAA) during fiscal year 2006, which ended September 30, Callaway received the distinction according to John Crouch, AAA executive vice president.

Angus breeders across the nation in 2006 registered 347,572 head of Angus cattle compared to 324,266 in fiscal 2005. "The year-end statis-

tics with an increase of more than seven percent from a year ago indicate a strong demand for Angus genetics in commercial herds as producers continue to focus on endproduct quality and its effect on their bottom line," Crouch said.

The American Angus Association, headquartered in Saint Joseph, Missouri, was founded in 1883. It is the largest beef registry association in the world in terms of both annual registrations and active members. For more information about the Angus breed go to www.angus.org.
