Memorial Day is just around the corner. People often have parties and picnics with hamburgers and hot dogs. People often grill out. But did you know, that on Memorial Day, more beef is consumed on that day than any other day in the United States?
Types of Beef
There are many different cuts of beef. Different types of wholesale cuts (location on the animal) include the chuck, rib, brisket, round, and plenty others. Than there are different retail cuts but the main two are roast and steak.
Uses of Beef
A main one is hamburgers. It is great for picnics and cookouts. Steaks are also popular with many steak restaurant chains around the United States. You can then make stews, stir-fries, roasts, meatballs, meatloaf, and many more.
Most Consumed Beef Day
Memorial Day is the day where the most beef is consumed than any other day in the United States. Over Memorial Day, Americans consume about 55.8 million pound of beef according to National Cattlemen’s Beef Association. [1]
Buy Your Beef
Support our Missouri cattlemen and buy some beef for the holiday celebrations. This also makes sense because May is Beef Month- perfect for Memorial Day.
Reason For Memorial Day
While we all like the fun stats and games and cookouts Memorial Day brings, let us not forget the meaning behind the holiday. Memorial Day is the day where we remember the men and women who gave their lives to protect our freedoms and our homes.
