The Northeast Beef Promotion Initiative (NEBPI), a subcontractor to the Beef Checkoff, will be partnering with the PA Beef Council and the Pennsylvania Association of Meat Processors (PAMP) to host the 2nd year of the Best BEEF Butcher Contest during the 2021 PAMP conference.
A timed breakdown of the beef chuck roll with the expectation that the chuck roll be fabricated into the following innovative beef cuts: Boneless Country-Style Ribs, Chuck Eye Roast, Delmonico, Denver, and Sierra Steaks. Judging will be based on accuracy, cutting technique, presentation of cuts and verbal consumer sales pitch. Additionally, the contest will include a beef cut identification round.
Butcher Contest Applicants that are not yet members of PAMP are encouraged to apply for membership for contest consideration.
2021 PAMP Best Beef Butcher Contest will be held May 13, 2021
