  • KBC - Material Handout Request

    The Kentucky Beef Council is an organization working for the cattle producers of Kentucky in areas of promotion, education and research. KBC is located in Lexington, in the same building as the Kentucky Cattlemen’s Association (the membership division of Kentucky’s beef industry). The Kentucky Cattlemen's Association serves as the "certified state beef council" collecting the checkoff funds and placing them in the KBC's account to be used for education, promotion, research, consumer information, producer communications, and industry information. The Checkoff is a $2.00 per head collection, which is placed on all Kentucky cattle when they are sold. Fifty cents out of every Checkoff dollar collected goes to the Cattlemen’s Beef Board in Centennial, CO., which oversees Checkoff programs. The remaining $1.50 cents stays in Kentucky to fund state coordinated activities, such as providing educational materials to teachers/educational leaders.
