We appreciate our partnership with the Idaho Beef Council and the rest of the Idaho beef industry for their on-going support. When we think of July, we usually think of hot weather, swimming, fireworks and backyard barbecues. From barbecues, it is just a short jump to thinking about beef – and July is Beef Month in Idaho!
