Where does Montana rank when it comes to beef?

According to the website, Montana is ranked third in the country. The two states above Montana are Kansas at #2 and Texas at #1. I take this a little personally as I have lived in all three states and find the beef in Montana superior to the other two.

The best burgers and steaks I've had have come from cattle raised in Montana. When I know that a restaurant serves Montana beef, I'm more likely to stop and eat there because I know I'm getting a top-notch product.

Luckily for Montanans, several of our restaurants serve Montana beef and we have many different butcher shops and meat processors that sell Montana beef to eat and enjoy at home.
