Beef in the Schools
The Iowa Beef Council is pleased to offer highly qualified, peer-reviewed educational materials to Iowa teachers. These materials are made available by the beef checkoff, which is funded by Iowa cattlemen and cattle women to fund beef education, promotion and research programs. These resources are free for Iowa teachers. Some materials may be downloaded and reproduced. Educators living outside Iowa may contact their State Beef Council for guidelines specific to their state.
