This intense four-day program will incorporate site tours of exceptional Ohio sheep operations with the Lamb 509 short course taught by Roger High and Dr. Henry Zerby of OSU.

In addition to the site tours, participants will spend one full day in the OSU Meat Labs learning about carcass grading, performing hands-on fabrication of carcasses and processing of meat products.
