Finally, it’s warming up enough to pull out the grill—good thing May is Beef Month! Cattle farmers and ranchers are taking to Twitter to share stories from the farm and help educate others about the power of protein.

 

We love seeing kids visiting the farm! Sharing the story about cattle and beef production is easy to incorporate into a variety of activities. The American Farm Bureau Foundation has several kids games, worksheets and school lesson plans about beef.  

Good job Missouri Cattlemen’s and Adams Land and Cattle in helping educate the next generation about beef and agriculture production!

We are efficient using low resources to make a high quality product. Beef is a smart way to provide food for many!

 

 

Even our friends across the pond celebrate beef month!
