In line with Beef Loving Texans’ value of tradition, the competition will also explore the different aspects of beef butchery that remain a key element in Texas’ cultural heritage.
“The competition celebrates the important role beef has played in Texan traditions and recognizes the people involved in bringing it our tables,” said Jason Beyer, TBC chairman and cattleman from Stephenville. “Through this competition we’ll be able to build on the checkoff-funded Beef Loving Texans brand and further enhance our efforts of reaching consumers. The art of butchery has been a Texas tradition for hundreds of years. We want to highlight the butchers behind the counter who prepare beef for markets, grocery stores and restaurants across our great state.”
