Collection of Beef Checkoff to Change in MT


TheMontana Beef Council (Council) and theMontana Department of Livestock (MDOL) have jointly decided to change how beef checkoff dollars are collected in the state. Starting on January 1, local and state brand inspectors will no longer be collecting the money. Instead, they will provide the change of ownership paperwork to the producer. It will then be that producer’s responsibility by law to remit payment to the Council. Local auction markets will collect/remit payment on behalf of the producer.


Northern Ag Network spoke with both the Council and MDOL after the vote.
