๐บ๐ธ๐ PROMOTE AMERICAN BEEF. SUPPORT AMERICAN FARMERS & RANCHERS. BUY DIRECT FROM THE FARM. ๐๐บ๐ธ
Somewhere down the road from you is a farming or ranching family doing everything they can to keep a way of life alive โ while helping put food on America's tables.
Theyโre paying more for fuel.
More for feed.
More for equipment.
More for repairs.
More for veterinary care.
More for nearly everything it takes to raise healthy cattle and operate a farm or ranch.
Theyโre up before daylight. Theyโre breaking ice when temperatures drop. Theyโre checking cows and pulling calves in the middle of the night. Theyโre fixing fence, putting up hay, battling drought, mud, heat and snow - and doing it again tomorrow.

๐ฅฉ BUY DIRECT FROM THE FARM OR RANCH - Search for local beef producers offering quarters, halves, whole beef, individual cuts or beef boxes.
๐ ASK QUESTIONS - Learn how the cattle are raised, what cuts are available, how the beef is processed and how much freezer space you'll need.
๐ค BUY WITH FAMILY & FRIENDS - Don't need a half or whole beef? Consider splitting an order with another household.
๐ SHOP LOCAL - Farmers markets, farm stores, ranch websites and local meat processors can help connect consumers with producers.
๐ ASK WHERE THE BEEF COMES FROM โ At restaurants, markets and community events, asking for American and locally raised beef tells businesses that origin matters to consumers. ๐คLeave a business card with your tip to a local farmer & ranchers!
๐ฃ PROMOTE YOUR LOCAL PRODUCERS - Follow their pages. Add a LINK in the comment below this post. Share their posts. Leave reviews. Recommend them to friends. Word of mouth costs nothing and can mean everything to a small operation.
๐ GIVE LOCAL BEEF AS A GIFT โ Beef boxes, steaks and farm gift certificates are another way to put your purchasing power behind American agriculture.
And when you meet the people raising your food โ Thank Them.
In an economy where every dollar matters, where we spend those dollars matters, too.
Keeping more of those dollars circulating in rural communities helps support feed stores, veterinarians, processors, equipment dealers, truckers, local businesses and families.
This is bigger than beef.
It's about food security.
It's about rural America.
It's about family farms and ranches.
It's about preserving agricultural land and knowledge.
It's about giving another generation a reason and an opportunity to come home and continue the legacy.
