Every recipe has a key ingredient. When it comes to the American Angus Auxiliary’s annual All-American Certified Angus Beef® (CAB) Cook-off, the key ingredient isn’t the usual suspects — salt, garlic or herbs, but rather family. Now a much-anticipated event at the National Junior Angus Show (NJAS) each July, the event helps young cattle producers develop a better understanding of the consumer eating experience and confidently advocate for beef products.
