Marie, our Account Executive, had a great time representing Certified Hereford Beef® at Pagel’s Ponderosa Boot Camp this week!
Throughout the day, youth participants had the opportunity to learn about careers in the meat industry, gain a better understanding of how beef moves from pasture to plate, and explore the importance of USDA Quality Grades in determining beef quality and consistency. 🥩
To put their new knowledge into action, participants created their own steak aprons and painted steaks based on specific USDA Quality Grades, combining creativity with hands-on learning. It was exciting to see the kids apply what they learned while having fun and engaging with the beef industry.
Thank you to Pagel's Ponderosa Dairy, LLC and Paulie’s Chop Shop for helping provide the next generation with valuable insight into the many opportunities available within the meat industry. We are proud to support educational experiences that inspire future leaders and advocates for agriculture and beef production. 🥩
