The Cattlemen's Beef Board aims to advance research, education, and promotional activities within the beef sector. Since its start in 1985, their beef checkoff has been a dollar per head. However with inflation, they’re not getting that full dollar value. Greg Hanes, CEO of the Cattlemen’s Beef Board (CBB) says with inflation and rising costs impacting their purchasing power, they're only getting about 35 vets for every dollar

The reduced funding comes at a time when beef production increases amid a decline in cattle numbers, intensifying competition from alternative protein sources like plant-based and cell-cultured meats.
