 The
Beef Checkoff Program was established as part of the
1985 Farm Bill. The checkoff assesses $1 per head on
the sale of live domestic and imported cattle, in
addition to a comparable assessment on imported beef
and beef products. States retain up to 50 cents on
the dollar and forward the other 50 cents per head
to the Cattlemen's Beef Promotion and Research
Board, which administers the national checkoff
program, subject to USDA approval.
