American Angus Association Offers Resources 24/7
Users of Angus genetics can access information at their fingertips any time day or night, save time and avoid the paper trail by utilizing AAA Login, an online resource provided by the American Angus Association (AAA).
More than half of active AAA members already use AAA Login, available to anyone with Internet access, including non-member buyers, known as affiliates, who have Angus bulls or females transferred to their name, Affiliates are typically commercial cattle producers who use Angus genetics.
AAA Login is simple to use, members or affiliates create their own profile by clicking on AAA Login in the upper-left hand corner of the Angus home page, www.angus.org. Once a user creates his or her profile, a unique password will be generated for him or her and sent to the e-mail provided; at that time the user can customize a private password.
Some of the services that affiliates can take advantage of include easy access to their registered herds performance records, EPD updates, the ability to clean up their herd inventory, transferring cattle to another buyer, and Customizable $Vaule Indexes. In addition, if the affiliate's commercial cow herd, Angus, Angus-cross or other breed is enrolled in the Beef Record System (BRS), AAA Login gives instant access to his or her cow production records.
"The customizable reports available in AAA Login are a great tool for all producers," Laughlin says. AAA Login is just one of many tools available to nearly 33,000 American Angus Association members and those commercial cattle producers who use Angus genetics.
