FREE MEAT ANIMAL PROJECT BOX AVAILABLE!
Do you want to learn more about cooking with meat from one of the following market animal projects: beef, swine, sheep, goat, poultry, or rabbit?
By participating in this distance learning project, youth will learn the following:
• The safe way to cook, store, freeze and thaw meat of the different project species.
• How to find the correct internal temperature of the cuts of meat.
• Try different recipes, helping them learn different ways to flavor and cook meat.
We encourage youth to learn to cook with the animal species they may be raising, but also to try others to learn some differences and other skills. There will be a Zoom meeting hosted by Bernie O’Rourke, Extension Livestock Specialist, to lead youth through a cooking lesson, using the information in the Cooking with Meat box.
Registration closes on December 15th.
