Beef Month

May happens to be Beef Month in Iowa, and what a great month to celebrate! We thought in honor of a great “holiday” we would share some facts you may not have known about the industry:

  • Iowa had 3.85 million head of cattle as of Jan. 1.
  • The beef industry contributes greatly to our economy by generating $7.32 billion of economic activity.
  • Iowa is a leader in the export of value-added agriculture products, shipping high-quality Iowa beef to other countries around the world.

There is a lot of pride that can be taken in raising these animals, and we at Two Rivers Cooperative are happy to help you with all your mineral and feed needs for them. We take pride in producing high-quality feed for our members to use in their operations to help this industry continue to thrive!
