The beef program is currently short on cows to meet demand for quality organic beef products.

We are asking all members in Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Northern Illinois, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine and Eastern New York to seriously consider marketing their cull cows through the program. Market cows are a major part of the co-op’s meat pool and represent one of the fastest growing segments in the cooperative.

Talk to us before shipping an organic cow to a conventional market. Call the Farmer Hotline to speak with a meat pool representative: 888-809-9297.
