** FILE ** Steve Charter and Jeanne Charter pose on their ranch near Sheperd, Mont., Nov. 22, 2000. Nearly seven years after the Charters first refused to pay a $1-per-head fee on cattle they sold, a federal appeals court has scheduled a hearing Wednesday, March 31, 2004, to hear their challenge to the national beef checkoff. The checkoff program, first approved by Congress and later made mandatory with an industry vote, raises about $80 million each year to help fund beef promotion, consumer educationand research.
