2008 Judging Camp

LUBBOCK, TEXAS (June 1-3, 2008) - Texas Tech University’s Department of Animal and Food Sciences hosted more than 125 students from three states at their first annual meat and livestock judging camps held at Texas Tech. Thirty students participated in the meat judging camp. The students learned the principles of meat judging including retail cut identification and evaluation and grading of beef, pork and lamb carcasses. The camp served as excellent preparation for 4-H and FFA students who will soon be competing in state and national contests. The camp participants were instructed by Mark Miller, Ph.D. and graduate students Travis O'Quinn and Jessica Igo. Camp coordinators are planning another camp in June 2009.
