I promote beef everytime I buy it.  I like it and I don't have to have a whole lot of ladies to tell me to buy it, although when I am at Costco or Sams it sure is nice to have the samples (They don't do beef samples enough!!!).

The little recipes with a good picture on a certain cut of meat that is out on the cooler shelf have always appealed to me although I know how to cut almost all pieces---from the head to the tail---to my liking.  It gives the impulse buyer an idea for a good supper.

It was real nice those ladies were out promoting beef, but a little smoke coming out of my or someone else's BBQ pit will bring my misquito like senses to the source. 

The best promoter of beef is and should be your family or friends enjoying a good meal.  I have cooked and shared many.  It is unbeatable.

The benefit of these ladies to come out and spend their time at the booth should not be used to divide the beef industry producers.  They represent where it all starts---at home with a good cook and a good piece of meat.  I hope they and all the other ladies in our lives that have cooked a good meal of beef are not relegated to a divisive tool.  It demeans them.

Kudos to all the ladies (and men) who have cooked and shared a good meal of beef with/for someone else.  Kudos to all those who seek to keep the beef industry strong---through promotion or through leadership in the issues of production and keeping the markets free and fair.
