New mexico beef council collects $2 Per animal sold**
**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.
mission statement:
The mission of the New Mexico Beef Council is to strengthen consumer trust and grow demand for beef by connecting New Mexicans to the ranchers, traditions, and nutrition behind the product through promotion, education, research and industry partnerships - supporting a strong future for beef producers across our state.
