Governor Gianforte Proclaims March 20 “Montana Meat Day”

Last week, Governor Greg Gianforte proclaimed March 20 to be “Montana Meat Day” in honor and support of all Montana farmers and ranchers that feed Montana, the nation and the world.

As Governor Gianforte said in his newly issued video, “Every day is meat day in Montana.”

The proclamation reads: WHEREAS, meat is part of a healthy, balanced diet, providing pure protein with no added junk; and WHEREAS, meat is produced more sustainably than ever, with innovations in animal nutrition, genetics, and management that reduce carbon footprints; and WHEREAS, Montana’s beef, pork, lamb, chicken, and other livestock are produced ethically under the Big Sky, with many ranchers and farmers depending on that production for their livelihood; and WHEREAS, agricultural livestock production faces increasing hostility from individuals and organizations seeking to ban common-sense animal husbandry practices; NOW, THEREFORE, I, Greg Gianforte, Governor of the State of Montana, do hereby proclaim March 20, 2021, to be MONTANA MEAT DAY in honor and support of all Montana farmers and ranchers who feed our state, nation and world, driving our state’s number one industry.
