Our Mission
The American Angus Auxiliary offers individuals interested in the welfare of the Angus breed the opportunity to work together to provide educational, promotional and social programs and activities.
1952—Celebrating 60 Years—2012
In 2013, Express Ranches, of Yukon, Oklahoma has graciously offered to donate an exceptional bred heifer. EXAR Rita 5681 is an October 2011 daughter and is sired by the $210,000 top-selling bull of his calf crop at Connealy Angus Ranch whose sons and daughters have topped sales across the nation for the past two years, this powerful bred heifer descends from the legendary G A R EXT 614, a female whose progeny have broken virtually every individual sales record in Angus breed history. The donor dam of this heifer was the $60,000 top-selling female of a past Sterling Hunter sale in Michigan and currently serves as a joint embryo donor for Express Ranches, Kiamichi Link Ranch and Pollard Farms in Oklahoma and her dam and grandam have both reigned as the top-valued cow of the Angus breed at some point in their illustrious lifetime. Examined safe to calve August 2, 2013 to EXAR UPSHOT 0562B.
A picture and video of the heifer will be coming soon and will be available at www.angusauxiliary.com; this heifer was hand selected by Jarold Callahan, President at Express Ranches. For more information on this great cow prospect, call (405) 350-0044 or callahan@expressranches.com.

It is a legacy built by countless volunteers dedicated to the Angus breed. It was indeed appropriate for the organization to this year recognize charter member Bette Votaw, Wellfleet, Neb., as a Distinguished Woman.

The Auxiliary Needs You!
We need you - whether you are a junior mom, entrepreneur, youth leader, retired Angus breeder or educator. Members from all walks of life involved in promoting or raising Angus cattle can become part of our organization. It is with teamwork that our organization keeps rolling along.
Members of our organization sign up for committees of interest to them. It is within these committees that you become involved at either the state, regional or national level. You don’t have to go to national events to be a part of this organization - we need assistance at all levels.
Each committee chairperson has a team of committee members whose job it is to work together to achieve the goals set by each committee and the officer team each year.
