Another great day with the Certified Angus Beef ® brand and Sysco crew in town. They braved the rainy weather at the MSU Beef Center this morning, and then participants observed the harvest process. After lunch we talked beef grading, covered the certification process, then participants helped break down a side of beef to see where various cuts of beef come from. 🥩
