The Nebraska Beef Council is an organization that exists to promote the global consumption of beef. The council conducts research and releases public relations material endorsing the nutritional value and cultural importance of beef.

Those dollars are invested in research, promotion, consumer information, industry information, foreign marketing and producer communication, all with the purpose of strengthening demand for beef and veal in both domestic and foreign markets. Any packer or producer who owns cattle for more than 10 days prior to slaughter must pay the couincil. The Nebraska Beef Council is charged by law to monitor all cattle transactions.
