The Livestock Institute's Education Committee is excited to expand its producer education with processing data from Meatworks' extensive Vista Trak system. From this data we will develop additional monthly updates and educational tools for producers on topics like cut yield data, trends in specific cuts, filling out cut sheets and more. Our hope is to continue open dialogue on best livestock management and marketing practices for small scale farms.
