Nebraska Cattlemen hosted Governor Pillen in its Lincoln office as he signed a proclamation declaring May 2023 as Nebraska Beef Month.
Nebraska Cattlemen President, Steve Hanson, stated, “From pasture to plate, the multifaceted beef cattle community works together to provide consumers with the highest quality product possible.”
Full Remarks as Prepared:
“I’m Steve Hanson, and I currently serve as President of Nebraska Cattlemen. It’s an honor for us to host you all in our office as we celebrate the start of May is Beef Month in Nebraska.
“As the beef cattle industry is the backbone of our state’s economy, every segment of the beef industry takes great pride in producing an unmatched, world-class product to feed families.
“In fact, when asked what makes Nebraska’s beef industry so successful, I always answer – it starts with family. An overwhelming majority of farms and ranches in Nebraska are family-owned and operated. From pasture to plate, the multifaceted beef cattle community works together to provide consumers with the highest quality product.
“Thank you, Governor Pillen, for recognizing the importance of the beef industry and the many dedicated Nebraskans who work day in and day out to make our success possible.”
