The American Angus Association sponsored Roll of Victory program gives attention to the individual show-winning animals themselves (rather than entirely to their sires and dams) with continued recognition to the sires of major award winners. The system also places attention to the winners and sires and dams of winners on an annual, current year basis, rather than on accumulation of points over many years.
