delectare bubulam americanam. Carnosus sis!
Ok, after several discussions, I'm now sure.
(Thanks, helpers!)
It's still quite ridiculous, though! ;-)

If you get a picture of the final version (an ad, I presume), please send it to me!

Age bubulis ex Foederatis Americanis Civitatibus vescere. Bubulis corpus confirmare!
It's a bit weird, still:
Vescere = 2nd sing. person imperative for "vescor" which means "eat", but also "enjoy, get pleasure from". Imperative in the 2nd sing. person is commonly used as kind of impersonal.
age = meaning here "come on!!", so to dim the command hinted meaning of the following imperative.
bubulis = "beef" in the plur. abl., as needed by "vescor"
ex Foederatis.... = from USA. You can rather use just "americanis bubulis", but that would simply mean from America, including South America.
corpus = relation accusative "in the body"
confirmare = middle-passive imp. 2nd sing. from "confirmo" (make it strong), meaning here "get strong, firm"
bubulis = ablative "with beef"
Weird, great fun though!

: The thing is, that in the US, everybode refers to only USA when saying "America", that's why I used the simplified version. But your translation is definitely more exact!

Thanks, Irene! Infact "americana bubula" was the other option. Have a good day!
