The Niche Meat Processors Assistance Network (NMPAN) is excited to announce a new hybrid learning short course created for small meat producers and processors. Called the Western Meat School, it is a collaborative effort between NMPAN at Oregon State University, Montana State University, University of Wyoming, Colorado State University, and Mesalands Community College. It's funded by Western Extension Risk Management Education grants and the Globetrotter Foundation.
The Western Meat School offers an innovative six-week learning experience in November and December where farmers, ranchers, butchers, and others will learn how to direct market meat. The course will cover topics in production, processing, and marketing to help you produce high-quality meat and sell to diverse market channels. Participants will learn new ways to manage risk and improve profitability.
