Throughout the year, Robyn Menke elementary cook, and Janie Corman, middle-high school cook, provide locally raised beef two days a week for the students. The Lawrence-Nelson Beef @ School committee alternates between the elementary and middle-high school every month to educate about beef and grill hamburgers for the students.
Another activity the beef donations provide is for the senior class to have a special steak meal on their last day of school. The only request is for the senior class to carry forward the producers’ passion for the beef industry.
Each year it takes 10 to 12 beef donations to feed the elementary and middle-high school students. Beef donations do not have to be the top feedlot steer. Do you have a fleshy cull cow, open cow or heifer? Those animals would be a perfect fit for the program. The group has producers that would feed out donated animal if needed. Donations are always needed and tax deductible. The students greatly appreciate the nutritious and delicious beef. Dec. 9, 2024, the group has a butcher date for two beef that need filled if you have an animal you would like to donate.
Please contact any of these committee members for more information and to set up donations.
