National Cattlemen's Beef Association[4] (NCBA) is an American trade association and lobbying group working for American beef producers.

Advertising campaign

National Cattlemen's Beef Association is the group responsible for the ad campaign run in the U.S. using the slogan "

Beef. It's What's For Dinner". Music from the ballet Rodeo by Aaron Copland is used in the radio and television commercials. On January 21, 2008, Matthew McConaughey became the spokesman of the organization, having taken over from Sam Elliott and the late Jim Davis and Robert Mitchum
. The Dinner ad replaced Beef. Real food for real people. James Garner was spokesman until he underwent quintuple heart bypass surgery.[5]

The NCBA has a history of funding and promoting research and content that downplays the link between animal agriculture and climate change.[6] In 2021, the NCBA made false claims about the impact of beef consumption on climate change. The NCBA has disputed that the beef industry contributes to climate change and has even claimed that the beef industry has a beneficial impact on climate change.[7] The NCBA has lobbied against climate and environmental regulations.[8][6]

National Cattlemen's Beef Association is funded by membership dues and sponsorships.[4] NCBA also serves as a contractor to the Beef Checkoff on a cost recovery basis.[9] 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. The checkoff assessment became mandatory when the program was approved by 79 percent of producers in a 1988 national referendum vote.[10]
