Keltey’s
Summer Thus Far
It’s hard
to believe I am already close to half way finished my internship at Angus
Central, time really has flown by!
Among the
many things I have been doing here at the office, I had the privilege to attend
Carcass 101 at Olds College last week. The event was hosted by the Canadian
Angus Association, in conjunction with Certified Angus Beef and supported by Alberta
Livestock and Meat Agency.
Participants
spent two days learning about the beef carcass, grading beef, industry trends,
and how to raise quality carcasses. We enjoyed a variety of sessions from
industry specialists, including evaluating live cattle, lessons in the meat
lab, and classroom presentations. My favourite part was judging three live
steers at the beginning of the first day, and being able to see and grade their
carcasses at the end of the second day. It was an incredibly informative event
and I am excited about my new knowledge of the beef carcass.

Following
Carcass 101, I am preparing to work in the Cattle Trail at the Calgary
Stampede. There, you can find the Canadian Angus interns- Katie, Sophie, and me
teaching the public about the beef industry from pasture to plate. Come find us
in the new Agrium Building!
See you at
Stampede!
