Consumer Resources Highlight Redesigned Beef Website

Digital communication is a key tool in the South Dakota Beef Industry Council's (SDBIC) consumer education and outreach efforts. It's also vital to the SDBIC's work with the state's beef producers and industry partners. Now, the SDBIC has a redesigned website which offers easy access for all, to all things beef.   

 

"We're thrilled to have this resource now available for our consumers and producers," said Amanda Bacon, Director of Communications. "This has been a long-time coming. The website is now a dynamic, mobile-responsive platform you can view from any PC or mobile device. That means whether you're looking for recipe ingredients in the grocery store, or you're a producer looking to see more about how your checkoff is utilized, the information you need is readily available with just a click."

 

The recipe section is one of the site's primary features, showcasing recipes which change to coincide with the seasons, SDBIC programs, and promotions. This section also features a variety of cooking videos from Holly Swee, RD, LN, Director of Nutrition, and a wealth of beef nutrition information.

 

Video: Selling Rams & Helping New Farmers Begin

It’s shipping day again at Ewetopia Farms as we sell another Suffolk yearling ram! In today’s episode, we load one of our Suffolk rams onto the trailer as he heads off to his new farm to sire the next generation of lambs.

This particular customer has been buying our rams for over eight years, trusting Ewetopia genetics for their gentle temperaments, strong builds, and proven performance. Back home, we get busy looking after the flock that’s staying behind. With the weather turning wet and chilly, it’s time to put down fresh, clean bedding to keep everyone cozy and comfortable for the season ahead. Later, we welcome a wonderful new family who’s just starting out in sheep farming!

They’ve chosen some of our Suffolk ewe lambs to begin their flock — and we couldn’t be happier to help them take their first steps into raising sheep. Stay tuned for a follow-up episode when we help deliver and settle their new flock at their farm.
