Learn more about when the Beef Checkoff should be collected and remitted!

As cattle moved through the production cycle from birth to beef, the Beef Checkoff Assessment is due each time cattle are sold. This is true for all cattle regardless of the breed or age of cattle sold. The checkoff assessment is due whether cattle are sold through a livestock market, an order buyer, or sold directly to another producer. The assessment is also due when cattle are harvested. See our PA Remittance Form to submit your assessment today.
