2025 TN YF&R Beef backer contest
July is Beef Month in Tennessee! To encourage more people to celebrate beef month we are hosting the Tennessee YF&R Beef Backer Contest. The purpose of this contest is to encourage consumers in your communities to purchase and prepare more beef this summer, with the goal of keeping beef the “King of the Grill”. This contest is an awesome way to promote beef, meet new people, and develop a relationship with your local grocery stores and beef retailers.

Once a projection form is received, we will send out materials to the contact person listed. If you are running a print ad, and need an image or graphic please email [email protected].
