Overview      
Students develop skills for careers in the meat animal industry as they complete a written exam; evaluate beef carcasses for quality and yield grade; identify various meat cuts, place beef, lamb and pork carcasses, and place wholesale and/or retail cuts.

State winning team advances to national competition which is held during the National FFA Convention in late October.

Genuine Judging Card Scan sheet #480-4 is required for this contest!
