Honor<strong>in</strong>g Our<br />
Ohio Heritage<br />
On Oct. 18, 1978, the Certified Angus Beef ® brand, led by Angus farmers from<br />
Ohio, as well as Ill<strong>in</strong>ois and Kentucky, became a reality with its first sale<br />
of beef. Several of those leaders were present when Ella Whitt<br />
purchased that first pound from a small grocery store <strong>in</strong><br />
Columbus, Ohio. Today, millions of consumers enjoy<br />
and trust the world-famous brand for consistently<br />
superior quality when d<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g out and at home.<br />
To honor the men who created the brand and all<br />
the partners from farm to table who guide its success<br />
today, friends of the brand and staff marked the 40th<br />
anniversary of the first sale with a proclamation from<br />
Ohio Gov. John Kasich. The announcement co<strong>in</strong>cided<br />
with the pa<strong>in</strong>t<strong>in</strong>g of the 40th barn at Atterholt<br />
Farms, often visited by partners as part of The<br />
Cul<strong>in</strong>ary Center experience, near the brand’s<br />
headquarters <strong>in</strong> Wooster, Ohio.<br />
