Booking the cooks

摘要

South Dakotans love beef, and a group called South Dakota Beef Bucks has the books to prove it. What do South Dakota's surviving first ladies have in common with World War II fighter ace Joe Foss, actress Cheryl Ladd and USA Today founder Al Neuharth? They're all native South Dakotans, and they all love beef. The proof is in a new 500-page cookbook called "First Ladies' Edition - BEEF Recipe Collection." It's the latest beef promotion idea of a group of eastern South Dakota cattlemen and cattlewomenwho formed a nonprofit group called South Dakota Beef Bucks in 1997 to promote beef and the state's beef industry.
