Participants on the University of Wyoming Meat Judging team will learn the principles of meat evaluation. The knowledge taught in the classroom and in the UW Meat Lab prepare students to successfully compete at numerous national meat judging contests coordinated by the American Meat Science Association, livestock shows and universities. Team members are required to enroll in the Introduction to Meat Judging course and are expected to practice regularly through the spring and fall semester during their one year of eligibility. Participation on the UW Meat Judging team is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity because of the meat industry knowledge gained, as well as connections made with fellow team members and professionals in the industry.
