“We’ve had incredibly good food and had an incredibility good time. We learned more specifics about beef cuts and where the value is for us as producers – and for our commercial producers who put animals into the feedlot systems and may market on the grid. We get a lot of general numbers, but at the Culinary Center we broke it down to specifics. That is something I have never done, and I don’t think anyone else in the room had either. It was an eye-opening experience and something I think everyone will take home with them.”

“The meat lab was phenomenal. Getting to see Diana and Paul give a little understanding on how cattle become CAB, how they aren’t CAB and how they meet in the middle. Seeing as a seedstock producer how kinds of bulls we have impact the end product. It isn’t just people going out there saying this is what CAB should be. They have meat scientists on staff.”

“If producers can get the chance to come to CAB and the Culinary Center, it’s an awesome opportunity. It just shows you what they do to protect the brand, the brand assurance, the breaking down the carcass and learning value of the primal cuts and the percentage those primals makeup of the carcass. It hits home and takes everything that we do every day in our operations and the reasons why to make a better beef product for retailers, packers, etc.”

“It’s an amazing facility. The research, the men and women, they put a lot of time and dedication into the brand to make a better product for consumers. Going home with the knowledge I gained and what was brought to my attention, I’m going to look for CAB in the stores, restaurants and help other producers genetically improve their cattle herd.”
