Gov. Doug Burgum has proclaimed May 2022 as “Beef Month” in North Dakota. The North Dakota Beef Commission (NDBC) proudly supports this proclamation which recognizes North Dakota’s beef industry for the benefits it provides to the state’s economy and to the health of its citizens.
The NDBC has planned a variety of activities throughout the month of May, including a partnership with the North Dakota CattleWomen to host a virtual 5K run. Select Cash Wise Foods stores across the state are holding Beef Month promotions to supply consumers with beef and other summer grilling ingredients.
Beef will again feature prominently at Bismarck Larks and Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks baseball games, beginning with the RedHawks Beef Batter of the game and the Larks’ Beefed-Up Home Run Derby and brisket smoke-off prior to the home opener.
The NDBC is launching hosting a social media campaign in search for North Dakota’s best beef burger and the winner will be announced on May 28, National Hamburger Day.

“Beef Month recognizes the hard work, dedication and care that beef producers put into their product and allows the industry an opportunity to share the benefits and high nutritional value of quality beef with the consumers,” said NDBC board member Matt Lachenmeier of Mandan.
North Dakota produces more than 794 million pounds of beef annually and contributes annual cash receipts from beef cattle sales totaling $2.632 billion.
The NDBC, representing North Dakota beef producers, manages the state Beef Checkoff program that enhances beef demand by strengthening consumer trust and exceeding consumer expectations. This is accomplished through programs and activities in the areas of promotion, research and consumer information.
