BEEF CHECKOFF CELEBRATES EARTH DAY WITH [VIRTUAL] WORKSHOP SHOWCASING BEEF'S JOURNEY FROM PASTURE TO PLATE

K.Swope | April 5, 2021


Bedford, PA - Raising beef is a complex process, but throughout the entire journey, one thing remains constant – the shared commitment to raising cattle with a safe, humane and environmentally sustainable approach by using the latest technology and resources. The Beef Checkoff invites you to learn more about beef’s journey from pasture to plate during an upcoming virtual workshop on Tuesday, April 20, 2021 at 6:30PM EST. 

In a time when sustainability headlines are commonplace, our Northeast Junior Beef Ambassadors, along with industry experts, like veterinarians and nutritionists are looking forward to providing insight into each step within the beef lifecycle through an interactive video tour. There will be time dedicated for Q&A, so we are confident you will leave this workshop with a greater understanding and appreciation for the beef community and the commitment to raising a safe, wholesome and delicious source of protein. 

Register for the workshop, which will be held via Zoom, here.
