Texas A&M Beef Cattle Short Course: Program Evaluation, Nicola Oosthuizen, Pedro Fontes, Graham C. Lamb, Jason J. Cleere
The Journal of Extension
Survey results (n = 3,748) collected over a period of 7 years from the Texas A&M Beef Cattle Short Course (BCSC) were analyzed to evaluate course demographics and the impact of the course on attendees. Results of this survey demonstrate that attendee demographics of the BCSC are representative of beef cattle producers in the United States and that the BCSC is effective at delivering information that positively impacts beef production in Texas. Extension professionals can make use of these findings to tailor future education programs to better serve the needs of beef cattle producers nation-wide.

Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the effect of providing primal source information to consumers prior to consumption on palatability ratings of ground beef from the same source.
Study Description: Ground beef chubs that were 80% lean and 20% fat (n = 15) were used for testing. Samples were served to consumers as 0.25 lb patties that were cooked internally to 160°F. Consumers were asked to evaluate and assess different palatability traits and evaluated samples identified as ground chuck, ground round, ground sirloin, and store ground along with a sample that offered no information.
Bottom Line: Based …

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the effect of perceived palatability on ground beef patties by providing consumers with differing price per pound labels.
Study Description: Ground beef chubs (n = 15) of 80% lean/20% fat composition were used for all samples. Patties were formed 11 days after processing into 0.25 lb patties using a commercial patty former.
Samples were cooked to 160°F and served to consumers to determine different quality attributes. Consumers were given the following prices for each sample: Ultra-High - $6.25/lb; High - $5.00/lb; Medium - $3.75/lb; Low - $2.50/lb; Ultra-Low - $1.25/lb or …

Objective: The objective of this study was to determine palatability traits of beef cuts of differing bone status and quality grade.
Study Description: Paired (n = 12 pairs; 24 total/cut/grade) boneless ribeye rolls, export ribs, and short loins were procured. Short loins were fabricated into boneless strip loins with corresponding bone-in tenderloins, or bone-in strip loins with boneless tenderloins. Post-aging, subprimals were fabricated into steaks that were randomly selected for further analysis. A total of 18 trained sensory panels were conducted at the Kansas State University Meat Science Sensory Lab to determine differences in palatability traits.
Results: In totality, bone …

Some Fundamentals Of Marketing Meat Goats, Angela Mckenzie-Jakes
Professional Agricultural Workers Journal
Over the last couple of decades, the demand for goat meat has risen in the U.S. However, the current supply of domestic goats does not meet the demand. In fact, the increase in demand is the result of the growth in ethnic populations in the U.S. Consequently, small producers are raising goats as a source of income. Thus, they must become familiar with ethnic holidays or festivals, understand marketing, and the importance of body condition scoring and selection criteria in order to increase returns from the sale of their goats. The objectives of this paper were to discuss the U.S. …
