4-H Livestock

Meat Identification Study and Test Guides

This is one of the most educational and popular activities of the 4-H Red Meats project. The purpose of this contest is for 4- H’ers to develop an appreciation for red meats as a protein source and to become better informed as consumers. They will learn how to recognize various cuts and quality grades of meat, how to shop wisely, and how to cook meats appropriately.

Our State 4-H Meats Judging Contest is held during 4-H Congress.
