The best you can get is certified Black Angus. Only 6 percent of all cattle can qualify.

We've been parading it around the restaurant as 'award-winning' lately.

He handled it real well. He certified on the 23rd of December. But he was never down there again. We said to him, 'Eric, you're going to be a key if we move you down to 171. Can you do it?' He said, 'Yeah.' And he did it. And he won two big matches for us.

Our goal is to assemble a premier herd of cattle. We'll market the females to other Angus breeders and the males to commercial producers.

We can say we are positively certified and can meet financial obligations for the next two years. The three percent required reserve has been met but we must be vigilant in watching the budget.

Two percent black; that's like skim milk.
