This project was an absolute “grind”, but the data was worth it!

Sam Stickley successfully defended his thesis asking the cold chain question under Dr. Erin Beyer. He explored the impact of cold chain management on beef trim for ground beef quality. Sam also played a pivotal role in extension events, and youth meat judging for Kansas.

Congratulations, Sam! We are so proud of you!🎉
