The Red Angus Association of America (RAAA) launched the GridMaster Challenge, an educational contest that gives producers firsthand experience in the fed-cattle sector while evaluating herd genetics.
Open to Red Angus members and commercial producers, the program partners with the Tri-County Steer Carcass Futurity at Nilan Feedyard in Iowa. “Even a single steer can provide transformative data,” said RAAA specialist Taylor Ohlde. Participants maintain ownership and receive detailed reports on growth, carcass merit and genomic results.
Enrollment closes Nov. 15, with delivery Dec. 1-7 and a field day in spring 2026. For more information or to enroll, visit redangus.org or contact Taylor Ohlde at 913-626-2715 or Cory Peters at 402-418-2351.
