Purpose
The purpose of the Argyle A. McAllen Performance Award is to promote performance breeding and encourage the raising of quality cattle in order to achieve the highest standards within the beef industry. A well-performing animal will set a standard for future breeding development and "raise the bar" for breeders who will follow. The involvement of registered breeders in performance testing will reflect their desire to improve individual herds for the good of the industry and the advancement of the Beefmaster Breed.
