Meat ID Judging

The purpose of Meat Identification judging is for 4-H’ers to develop an appreciation for red meats as a protein source and to become better informed as consumers. Each member will learn how to recognize various cuts and quality grades of meat, identify which species the meat is from, and learn the proper cooking method for each.

For more information, please email Kayla Jenkins, or by phone: (615) 666-3341.
