For the first time, cattlemen can earn grid premiums based on the genetic merit of their cattle, stemming from their investment in superior genetics. National Beef Packing Co., LLC (NBP) announces the addition of new premiums on their U.S. Premium Beef, LLC (USPB) grid for qualified cattle based on their AngusLink Genetic Merit Scorecard (GMS). AngusLink value-added programs are administered by the American Angus Association in partnership with IMI Global. Joining us to explain the new grid premiums that take effect in August and December are Mark Gardiner of Gardiner Angus Ranch and Troy Marshall of  the American Angus Association.
