Have you heard? July is Beef Month. The Rutherford County 4-H Livestock Club is busy sharing this message to consumers throughout this month. Club member Haylee Ferguson has more:

On Friday, July 10, club members set up a Beef promotion display, answered questions from consumers, gave away seasoning packets and recipes, and shared grilling information at Jr.’s Foodland in Murfreesboro.

Spreading awareness that beef can be part of a healthy diet is the theme of the month long promotion. Grilling is especially popular during the summer, and lean beef cuts can be easily prepared on the grill. Thanks to the TN Beef Industry Council for providing seasoning packets and recipe information to share with consumers. Also, thanks to the Rutherford Co. Cattlemen’s Assn. and Farm Bureau Leadership Committee for assisting with sponsorship of activities.

And, a great give away is taking place at tnbeef.org. Check out the website and enter to win a prize pack including an Orca cooler, a $100 gift card to Porter Road, a hamburger beach towel and more.

Please visit the Rutherford Co All About Beef facebook page to learn more beef facts and information from club members.

Look for 4-H Livestock members at the Rutherford Co Farmers Market with more Beef information. Recipes and seasoning packets will be available on Fri., July 31. Thanks for including Beef in your meal plans. Beef It’s What’s for Dinner!
