“Beef, it’s what’s for dinner” … | The Triple A Livestock Report

This is not just a great advertising slogan, it’s also one of the goals of the New Mexico CowBelles. Indeed, increasing demand for BEEF is one of our primary missions and it looks like we’re succeeding! According to the American Society of Animal Science, a recent survey by Oklahoma State University shows that “consumer willingness to pay for all meat products has increased since this time last year. In fact, willingness to pay is at its highest since the survey began in 2013.” (http://takingstock.asas.org/?p=17223) That’s great news!

One of the biggest consumer challenges identified by the survey “is finding food that will fit within their budgets. When purchasing food, consumers first look for taste, safety, and nutrition. The novelty of the food item is the least valued by consumers.” So what this tells us is that traditional standbys, such as pot roast and stew, are still valued by the busy Mom on a budget.

Fortunately we just need to re-introduce the millennial generation to a crockpot and more affordable cuts of meat. That’s where you come in. I have seen photos and facebook posts of the great activities your locals have been doing at the county fairs. CowBelles across the state have been spreading the good news about how the ranching community cares for their animals and the land, how the hormones in BEEF compare to those in spinach and tofu, and how cattle by-products provide us with everyday necessities.

While you’re at it, hand out a recipe brochure or two from the New Mexico Beef Council. They have wonderful publications on crockpot meals, how to utilize various cuts of meat, and how to feed a hungry crowd at a tail gate party! Or you can like our facebook page and share our recipe posts on your personal page. This significantly increases the reach and those glamour food shots will send people to the meat case pdq! You can also find us on pinterest – we have recipe boards for hamburger, soups/stews and crockpot meals. By re-pinning you create a ripple effect that will be felt for decades as cooks hand down their favorite recipes from one generation to another.

If we’ve learned anything from the past decade it’s that we’re all foodies now. We want to create family meals that are not just delicious and nutritious, but also pretty. Let’s help our fellow foodies by providing them with BEEF recipes that fit the bill. By increasing demand we’ll be “Making a Difference” for New Mexico’s BEEF community.
