ALLEN COUNTY, OH (WLIO) - The Allen County Junior Fair has officially wrapped up as the annual carcass show is in the books.
The Ohio State University Animal Science Department was in town judging the last stage of the livestock projects. The judges are looking for certain characteristics such as the amount of fat as well as the amount of muscle to see how much sellable product is in the carcass.
"What I've done is actually expose that ribeye muscle as well as certain areas of back fat. Once I take measurements of those it goes into this very long formula and it gives me a percent of sellable product. Another way of saying that is a percent of boneless closely trimmed retail cuts," explained Bo Garcia, OSU meat science judging coach.
The carcass show is sponsored by Kewpee Hamburgers and held at Keystone Meats. To see the results of the 2022 Kewpee Carcass Show, click on the PDF below:Â
