Bill > SRes241

This resolution supports designating May 2025 as "National Beef Month" and highlights the significant economic and nutritional importance of cattle and beef production in the United States. The resolution emphasizes that cattle production generates $88.4 billion in cash receipts, making it the largest agricultural commodity sector, and that the United States leads global beef production by accounting for 19 percent of worldwide output with over 92 million head of cattle. The resolution also underscores the nutritional value of beef, noting that a 3-ounce serving provides 25 grams of high-quality protein and contains essential nutrients like iron, choline, vitamins B6 and B12, phosphorous, zinc, niacin, riboflavin, and selenium, which support various bodily functions including oxygen absorption, nervous system development, immune health, and energy metabolism. Additionally, the resolution recognizes the United States as the world's largest beef consumer, particularly of high-value, grain-fed beef, and acknowledges the historical contribution of cattle production to agricultural cash receipts.
