The FCCP provides age, source and genetic verifi cation for calves
sired by registered Red Angus bulls. Cattle enrolled in the FCCP
are accepted into the exclusive Choice+ and G.O. Red grids. The
FCCP ‘yellow tags’ are recognized by buyers nationwide and
return a premium for Red Angus calves enrolled in the program.

The Allied Access program provides age and source verifi cation
for commercial cattlemen whose bull battery does not
exclusively contain registered Red Angus bulls. Whether you are
utilizing multiple sire breeds or halfblood bulls, enrolling in Allied
Access demonstrates to buyers that you are taking an extra
step in marketing your calves and adding value throughout the
production chain.

To enroll in the FCCP or Allied Access, contact the Red Angus
marketing department. Enrollment is simple and free of charge.
