Producer Redirection of Checkoff Assessments Form

The Beef Promotion and Research Act and Order require collection of a mandatory $1-per-head beef checkoff assessment every time cattle are sold. The Act and Order authorize state beef councils to retain 50 cents per head of the mandatory $1-per-head checkoff assessment for in-State research and promotion programs conducted by the state beef council. The law requires that at least 50 cents per head of the mandatory $1-per-head checkoff assessment be forwarded to the Cattlemen’s Beef Promotion and Research Board (Beef Board) to help fund national beef checkoff programs. [State] producers may use this form to request that the [QSBC] send the full $1-per-head beef checkoff assessment from their individual cattle sales to the Beef Board and that the [QSBC] not retain any portion of the individual’s assessment for its direct programing efforts. This “Producer Redirection of Checkoff Assessment Form” must be postmarked by the 15th of the month following the month the cattle were sold. Mail forms to the [QSBC Name], at [QSBC address].
