Local Kentucky Cattlemen’s Ground Beef Hits $1 Million in Total Farm Gate Sales
Lexington, KY, December 16, 2019 - Kentucky Cattlemen’s Ground Beef recently marked a huge milestone for Kentucky farmers by hitting $1 million in total farm gate sales. This fresh and natural (no artificial ingredients, minimally processed) 80/20 ground beef is provided by Kentucky farm families who share a commitment to animal care and the environment. From farm to table, Kentucky cattlemen from 111 farms in 44 counties have provided this quality, local product and Beef Solutions is proud to have sold over 587,000 pounds of local ground beef.
Supporting local cattle farmers is important as they put money back into our local economies. This product has given many farmers the opportunity to retain their cattle in Kentucky using a new marketing channel to provide a quality, local product to Kentucky consumers. Many entities across the state have worked hard to bring a local beef option directly to consumers. The ground beef is sourced, processed and packaged in Kentucky and readily available at Kroger stores in Kentucky, Southern Indiana and Tennessee, Kentucky schools, the KFC Yum Center and the Kentucky Fair and Exposition Center.
“Beef Solutions is proud to work with Kentucky cattle producers and give them a marketing alternative for their cows. It is a win-win for producers and consumers in Kentucky” stated Jeff Pettit, Beef Solutions Chairman.
Beef Solutions was formed to provide a pathway for Kentucky’s cattle farmers to sell a locally produced and marketed ground beef, guiding the product from the Kentucky farm to the Kentucky consumer.

Special thanks to the Kentucky Department of Agriculture and the Governor’s Office of Ag Policy for their support of this project.
