It's the last stage of judging for the Allen County Junior Fair competitors with the annual Kewpee Carcass Show. Members of the Ohio State University meat judging team in Columbus made the trip to Keystone Meats to judge the top-placing livestock at the Allen County Fair. Everything from steers, hogs, goats, and sheep was evaluated for the best quality and amount of sellable meat found in the carcass. Our Casey Mulcahy got a behind-the-scenes look at how the judges rank the carcasses and what factors into their scoring of each animal.

A line wrapped around Keystone Meats Wednesday evening as people waited to walk through the doors into the annual Carcass Show. Cattle, hogs, and chicken - these are just some of the 50 carcasses that were the top 15 of the animals shown at the Allen County Fair last week. Each carcass was looked at by a team of judges from the Ohio State University. The winners were chosen based off of cutability, quality, and visual appearance.
