Participants will be asked 10 beef-related questions, ranging from nutritional value to cooking methods to various cuts of meat. Each correct answer earns the eligible player an entry into a drawing for the Grand Prize, which includes a Weber charcoal grill, $200 worth of Roseda Beef, two VIP tickets to the National Harbor Wine & Food Festival, plus a gift basket of Roseda Beef and beef checkoff goodies.
Entries for the “I LOVE BEEF TRIVIA” Challenge must be submitted online via the NEBPI website before 5 p.m. on April 15, 2013; limit one survey per person.

The beef checkoff, via the NEBPI, is excited to return to piers along the Potomac for the 6th annual National Harbor Wine and Food Festival on May 4-5. The Initiative is once again teaming up with Roseda Beef from outside of Baltimore, Md., to provide delicious samples of their grass-fed Black Angus beef throughout the weekend, and will be on-site to spice up the perception about the nutritional benefits and versatility of beef. More information about the National Harbor Wine & Food Festival can be found online.

The Beef Checkoff Program was established as part of the 1985 Farm Bill. The checkoff assesses $1 per head on the sale of live domestic and imported cattle, in addition to a comparable assessment on imported beef and beef products. States retain up to 50 cents on the dollar and forward the other 50 cents per head to the Cattlemen's Beef Promotion and Research Board, which administers the national checkoff program, subject to USDA approval.
