The first day of beef month, May 1, also serves as the return of the Nebraska Beef Passport, which is celebrating its 5th year. This year’s program from the Nebraska Beef Council features new features, new stops, and other delicious reasons to hit the road.
Mullen’s Highway 2 Depot, Ord’s Carl’s Tavern, and the Ord Locker are all area locations featured on the passport, which can be found at GoodLifeGreatSteaks.org. They are among nearly 60 locations across the state that range from small-town cafes and steakhouses to meat processors and butcher shops.

“We’re excited to celebrate the fifth year of the Beef Passport,” said Adam Wegner, director of marketing for the Nebraska Beef Council. “Every year, the program grows – both in popularity and in the diversity of participating locations. Since the initial launch of the program in 2021, there have been over 10,000 beef meals enjoyed by passport users from over 600 communities across the state.”
Those who participate in the Nebraska Beef Passport can keep track of their visits through a mobile app or can print a paper version directly from the website. Each visit made earns points toward prizes and an entry into a grand prize drawing for one of two fresh beef bundles.
This year’s passport runs from May 1 through September 30. For more details visit GoodLifeGreatSteaks.org or contact the Nebraska Beef Council at 1-800-421-5326.
