OUR PARTNERS
Angus Foundation
The Angus Foundation supports programs involving education, youth and research in the Angus breed and the agriculture industry.
Ingram Angus
Established in 2016 by Orrin Ingram and managing partners Jason Upchurch and David Cagle, Ingram Angus has quickly made a name for itself as a supporter of youth development and education.
“We want to bring a piece of this industry to classrooms across the country and introduce them to the Angus breed and Angus Family.”

American Angus Association®
The American Angus Association is the nation’s largest beef breed organization, serving more than 22,000 members across the United States, Canada and several other countries. It’s home to an extensive breed registry that grows by more than 300,000 animals each year. The Association also provides programs and services to farmers, ranchers and others who rely on Angus to produce quality genetics for the beef industry and quality beef for consumers.
THE FUTURE OF BEEF ACADEMY
The youth learning platform launched in July 2024 to NJAA members with the first learning module. The American Angus Association and partners will continue to develop learning modules for cattle breeds, genetics, the cattle industry and meat science. Eventually, the platform will be made available to youth enrolled in other organizations and educational institutions.
