Beef for Troops
Since 2009, the Nebraska Cattlemen Farmer Stockmen Council has sponsored beef drafts for military members on Veterans’ Appreciation Day at the Nebraska State Fair. The Farmer Stockman Council will again honor veterans and active-duty service members in the Beef Pit at the 2024 Nebraska State Fair during the Veteran’s Day Celebration.
As we come together to honor our military veterans and service members, we need your help! We will be accepting cash donations through August 16, 2024. These donations are used to purchase beef drafts, which are given randomly to our veterans and active-duty service members who eat at the Nebraska Beef Pit at the Nebraska State Fair. Questions can be directed to Bonita Lederer (402-450-0223; blederer@necattlemen.org).
