On March 26, the Meats Judging team consisting of Jayce Meyring, Jayda Meyring, Wade Sanders, Peittyn Johnson, Lauren Lehl, and myself. We traveled to Lubbock Texas for a meats judging competition.
Students from Oklahoma, Texas and Nebraska competed with us on March 27 on the Texas Tech University campus in the meat lab. We all placed very well: Wade 25th, Jayce 40th, Jayda 46th, Lauren 60th, Peittyn 76th, myself 92nd out of 120 kids.
One contest consisted of Retail Id (this includes identifying different cuts of meat.), Placing classes (place classes depending on species and their qualities) qualities that you look for in Swine is trimness. Sheep is trimness. Beef is quality of the rib eye, a test (this test has different questions on meats parts), quality and yield grading (finding how big the rib eye is, and whether it is Prime, Choice, Select, or Standard). Question (the last thing you have is questions on one or two classes that you placed). This contest really opened our eyes to a whole other opportunity that we were able to be a part of. All of us enjoyed this amazing experience from our car games, and childhood stories. More updates to come. Thanks for reading.
