                   CELEBRATING BEEF MONTH IN NEBRASKA

  (Mr. FLOOD asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. FLOOD. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor our beef producers, 
feeders, and processors as we celebrate Beef Month in Nebraska.
  Nebraska is the Beef State. We are the top processing State, number 
one for cattle on feed, and the biggest State for beef exports to the 
European Union, South Korea, Kuwait, and Colombia.
  Nebraska has more than three times the number of cows than people. 
From the Lone Creek Cattle Company in Lincoln to Oak Barn Beef in West 
Point, we raise the best beef in the world right in the First District 
of Nebraska.
  It is all because of our abundant natural resources, great cattle 
genetics, and a rich heritage that has been passed on for generations.
  As we celebrate Beef Month, I give a sincere thank-you to all the 
producers, feeders, and processors who raise and make the best beef in 
the world on our ranches and in our feed yards for consumers around the 
globe.
