Beef Promotion
Programs to Promote Beef in Our Communities
Hamburger Donations to Food Pantries
Navidad Valley CattleWomen proudly donate ground beef to all food pantries in our tri-county service area that have refrigeration to store frozen hamburger. Additionally, CattleWomen provide educational materials to help encourage the clients to keep beef in their diets as a healthy, high quality protein. This includes recipes and information on how to purchase and prepare beef properly not just for special occasions but also for everyday, busy family meals.
