Iowa's family beef farmers fuel hungry runnersIowa Some 7,500 runners will enjoy hot beef stew served by Iowa's local beef producing farm families following the annual Living History Farms Cross Country Run on Nov. 21. The Iowa Beef Industry Council--representing all of Iowa's beef farmers--and in cooperation with the Iowa Machine Shed and Fitness Sports, will provide nutrient-rich beef stew as part of a recovery meal for the runners. "We think this is a great opportunity to remind athletes of the important role high-quality protein plays in building, maintaining and repairing muscle. Beef is one of the tastiest sources of all the essential amino acids needed to carry out these functions," says Will Frazee, cattle feeder from Emerson, and IBIC chair. Around 100 local beef producing farmers and their families will help serve the after-race meal prepared by the Iowa Machine Shed. "Serving 7,500 people in less than 2 hours will keep us busy, but we also hope to spend some time visiting with the runners about how we produce Iowa's great tasting beef," said Frazee.
