The Wyoming Beef Council is a five-member board of beef producers who oversee the expenditure of checkoff dollars collected in Wyoming. The council’s goal is to increase beef demand. WBC members implement the provisions of the federal order establishing the checkoff, determine a yearly marketing plan and evaluate the effectiveness of statewide checkoff programs.

This is an important meeting as council members decide the direction of the Wyoming Beef Council and Wyoming checkoff dollars for next year. All beef producers are welcome to attend the meeting.
