**The New Mexico Beef Council collects $1 per animal sold pursuant to the Beef Promotion and Research Act of 1985, known as the Federal Beef Checkoff, and $1 per animal sold pursuant to the State Assessment as passed in 2019 with state law. The Federal Beef Checkoff is split between the Cattlemen's Beef Board ($0.50) and the New Mexico Beef Council ($0.50). Combining both the state and federal dollars, the New Mexico Beef Council works to increase and protect the demand for beef with promotion, research, advertising, education and more.
The Checkoff has significantly and positively altered the beef industry’s course, and has brought producers, industry organizations, and stakeholders together with a common purpose: driving demand for beef.
$1.00 per head of cattle that is involved in a transfer of ownership in New Mexico.
The New Mexico Livestock Board Inspectors will collect the Council Assessment on behalf of the NMBC. These funds are collected as part of the transfer of ownership for each transaction that occurs in New Mexico.
