Senator Marshall Joins Colleagues to Introduce Beef Month Resolution

Washington – U.S. Senator Roger Marshall, M.D. (R-Kansas), Pete Ricketts (R-Nebraska), Deb Fischer (R-Nebraska), and John Cornyn (R-Texas) introduced a resolution to designate May 2025 as Beef Month in America.

 “Thanks to the work of America’s cattle producers, nothing compares to our nation’s beef,” Senator Marshall said. “From gate to plate, beef plays a crucial role in our economy and our diets. As the third-largest red meat-producing state in the nation, hundreds of Kansas communities are built on the cattle industry, and I’m proud to partner with Senators Ricketts and Fischer to recognize May as National Beef Month.” 

“Nebraska is the beef state. Last year, we led the nation with over $2 billion in beef exports. We lead the nation in commercial cattle slaughter, with 6.8 million head. We have the top three beef-producing counties in the nation,” Senator Ricketts said. “Nebraska’s ranchers feed the world. Cattle and beef production delivers billions of dollars to our economy every year. This month, we honor hard-working cattlewomen and men.”

“Nebraska is the beef state – and we’re proud of it,”Senator Fischer said. “I want to thank Senator Ricketts for leading this resolution to officially designate May as National Beef Month and recognize the important role Nebraska’s ranchers play in raising cattle and producing high quality beef.”

“Texas ranchers are the backbone of America’s beef supply, and their hard work is often done in dark hours and without thanks. I’m proud to join Senator Ricketts and my colleagues on a resolution to recognize May as National Beef Month,” Senator Cornyn said.
