Vote Yes for Texas Beef Checkoff June 2-6
What: Texans can help determine the future of the beef industry by voting yes on a state beef checkoff. Supported by the Texas Purebred Cattle Alliance and leading Texas cattle industry organizations, we need your help to ensure the success of this program.
Why: A vote in favor of a state beef checkoff is a vote in favor of the ranching way of life. It’s a vote for increased research and promotion, which could ultimately lead to increased demand for beef. Most importantly, it’s a vote against radical anti-agriculture groups like HSUS and PETA, which threaten our livelihood each day. TOGETHER we can determine the future of beef in Texas.
Who: Any producer, regardless of age, who has owned cattle in Texas any time between June 6, 2013, and June 6, 2014, is eligible to vote in the referendum. For purposes of this referendum, a producer may be either an individual or a legal business entity. Youth younger than 16 years of age must have a parent or guardian co-sign the ballot. A non-producer (i.e. dealer, order buyer, etc.) is not eligible to vote in the referendum.
Where: Eligible producers may vote at any Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service county office, regardless of where your cattle are located or where you live.
When: VOTE YES June 2-6 2014!
