Recognition Program

Each year the Wisconsin Angus Association gives recognition to individual show-winning animals, their breeders, and exhibitors through the Wisconsin Recognition Program. The program began in 1986 and gives distinction to high placing show animals based on points earned at the Southwestern Wisconsin Angus Show, Wisconsin Angus Spring Preview Show, Wisconsin State Fair, and World Beef Expo. The program is aimed at growing participation and enthusiasm for events supported by Angus breeders throughout the state. See how the program works and past winners on this web page.
