Beef Counts

Idaho’s beef industry recognizes its impact on Idaho and the effect it has on the local economies. Beef Counts is a program designed to provide a consistent supply of high-quality protein throughout the year to The Idaho Foodbank. This is done through cash and animal contributions made by Idaho cattle ranchers.

As the first program of its kind in the United States, Beef Counts and its partners, the Idaho Cattle Association, Idaho CattleWomen Council, Idaho Beef Council, and Agri Beef Co., collectively support this innovative program, which quickly converts cash or live animal donations into nutritious beef for hungry Idaho families.

Consumption of beef provides your body with a wide variety of nutrients. Beef contains high amounts of protein, vitamins, and minerals that aid in building and maintaining muscle mass as well as improving exercise performance. Beef also contains iron which helps reduce anemia and improves blood health.
