The definitive voice of U.S. cattle & beef producers since 1898. Fighting to keep our industry profitable, sustainable, and strong for generations to come.
We would love to sit down and talk more about sustainable beef! DYK U.S. Beef has one of the lowest carbon footprints in the world: only 2% of U.S. GHG emissions.
@drsplace
would make a SUPER guest on your show to talk more about it!
RT until
@TheEllenShow
sees this! U.S. beef has a carbon footprint 10-50 times lower than some nations, cattle only account for 2% of U.S. GHG emissions. Let's get

Cattle production builds healthy grasslands, sequesters carbon, reduces wildfire risk, and provides all these environmental benefits while accounting for only 2% of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions. Thank you

One of the biggest benefits to attending Cattlemen’s College: learning from the one and only Temple Grandin. Even as a multigenerational rancher, there’s always more to learn.

Life on the ranch isn't all sunshine and roses. Sometimes the weather is -15°F and the cattle still need attention.

There's often a misconception that cattle don't matter. The reality is cattle producers put their cattle first. This is just one example of how producers take care of their cattle no matter the weather or situation.

You wouldn't feed your baby FAKE foods. So why feed yourself fake meats? Feed your family the protein for all ages. Beef. It's what's for dinner.
