This is an excellent learning opportunity and covers much more than ‘grassfed’ beef:
– overview of the US beef industry from cow/calf to packer (including virtual tours feedyards and [seldom seen] large packing plants)
– review of beef breeds
– forage production practices
– development of a basic preventative herd health plan
– carcass fabrication and beef cuts
– beef’s place in a healthy diet
– an opportunity to get to know most of the Animal Science beef and meats specialists
