LOGAN, Utah — This is no bum steer. A food company is offering 5 pounds of ground beef to Utah residents who receive a vaccine at free clinics being held on Saturday and Monday.
The cost of the vaccine is free. The beef is free, too.
In a news release, JBS Hyrum said it also will award free meat for a year to two winners -- one from each clinic. On its website, JBS Hyrum calls itself “a global, diversified protein company creating delicious products for customers and consumers around the world.”
