Billings, Mont. – The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) recently completed its reapportionment of the National Beef Checkoff Program to determine how many cattle are controlled by each of the states, which then determines the number of directors each state has on the Beef Checkoff Program’s Cattlemen’s Beef Board (CBB). It also determines the number of live cattle and cattle equivalents (i.e., beef volume converted to cattle numbers) that importers control.
The USDA counts live cattle imports and then adds another head for each 592 pounds of imported beef to calculate the total number of cattle controlled by importers.
