The ACA All-American program honors superior registered cattle after the completion of each show season. Starting with the 2019-2020 show season, we honor both open division and junior division All Americans. Only 30 show animals can achieve this status each year in the open division – 9 females and 6 bulls representing two divisions. In the Junior division, only 16 females can achieve this status, 8 for each division.

All-American points are awarded according to ACA National Show rules. All Chianina and composites (other than ChiAngus) compete in the Chianina division. The remaining, ChiAngus, vie for top ChiAngus honors. The animals registration status determines the All-American division eligibility regardless of the type of show.
