A Global View
The World Angus Secretariat was established in 1969 to facilitate the sharing of information between the various Angus Societies/Associations of the world.

Brazil gets ready to host the World Angus Secretariat for the first time in 2027
An unprecedented event in Brazil is set to showcase the continental-sized country’s full potential when it comes to the beef cattle industry. The World Angus Secretariat is scheduled from May 8 through 19 in 2027. Months ahead, the Brazilian Angus Association works intensively so that breeders, association leaders, researchers, and meat industry executives can learn about the work that made Brazilian Angus beef a global synonym for quality.
To demonstrate how Brazil became a world reference for the breed, the event will promote a technical immersion in order to strengthen links in the global beef chain.
