Challenging Perceptions “[Beef is] A relatively doomed diet, because of environment & health implications” “I feel conflicted about beef” “What goes into the cows, goes into me” “They’re just doing it to make more money” “It’s unnatural”

Challenging Perceptions Up from 49% in 2008 “Factory Farming”? 48% associate with beef cattle 58% believe beef comes from “factory farms” 33% concerned about safety of “factory farmed” beef 61% YES

The OPPORTUNITY

Consumers Want to Know Farmers & Ranchers Interest in knowing where beef comes from 74%

88% 33% Knowledge = Favorability Percent favorable based on knowledge

45% Real stories about real people 44% Word-of-mouth from family, friends, co-workers 38% TV News, programs and their Web sites 36% Newspaper & magazine articles & Web sites 36% Company Web sites, reports, package info 35% My own research on the Internet 30% NGOs, govt., universities 30% Orgs/causes supported 29% Radio programs and news Source: GolinHarris’ “Corporate Citizenship and American Business” 10 Most Trusted Ways a Company Can Communicate with Me

U.S. EFFORTS

The Beef Checkoff Program Established within 1985 Farm Bill, became mandatory in 1988 $1/head assessed every time a beef animal is sold Cattlemen’s Beef Board administers program, subject to U.S. Department of Agriculture approval

Promoting Researching Educating Safeguarding State Programs National Programs State Beef Councils Cattlemen’s Beef Board Dairy, Beef, Veal Producers Pay $1/head Importers Pay $1/head or equivalent Federation State Beef Councils Operating Committee 50¢ 10

Promotion Research Consumer Information Industry Information Foreign Marketing Producer Communications The Beef Checkoff Program

Beef Issues Management 1)Protect consumer confidence, and therefore, the marketing climate for beef, by leading unified and effective industry responses to critical issues; and 2)Pave the way for demand-driving programs by strengthening the reputation of the beef industry and its farming and ranching members.

SUCCESSES

BeefPastureToPlate

Student Documentaries

Less than 2% of U.S. population raises food. We’re using fewer natural resources to raise beef today. Our efforts are helping supply a growing population with great tasting, nutritious beef.

Missouri: Donated nearly 15,000 lbs of food to state food banks Denver: JBS donated 16,000 lbs of beef to area food banks
