Sam Houston State University Beef Cattle Show was started in the Fall of 1996. For students to learn showing, feeding, and beef cattle management. The show team started off showing Purebred Brangus cattle out of the Atlas blood lines. Due to recent donations the show team is now showing Purebred Angus cattle. Eighteen Angus embryo's were donated in 1998 and the university received thirty eight Angus cows from Circle A Angus Ranch of Iberia, Mo. in 1999.
