This course will be offering smaller group sizes for each event to bring attendees more hands-on opportunities as they learn from our instructors. Attendees will experience the swine industry firsthand from live animal production through finished pork products. The course concludes with the attendees preparing and sampling products from pork carcasses, including pumped loin, bacon, ham, and sausage.
