The Butcher Block
Author: Gregg Rentfrow
Planning Unit: Animal and Food Sciences
Major Program: Agriculture and Extension Leadership Development
Outcome: Intermediate Outcome
The Butcher Block in Muhlenberg County is a new meat processor. They need help with the daily operations of the business, including how to spot bottlenecks in production. I traveled to Central City to work with the owner and offer advice on what new technology he could purchase that could increase production. In addition, we discussed the profitability of purchasing local cattle for processing. The Butcher Block is brand new, but they should be making a profit soon.
