The pandemic caused an interest in meat processing, thus the need for meat cutter training.  The UK Meat Cutting School hosted two, beef processing workshops and a pork processing workshop.  In total 37 individuals from 5 states attended the weekend workshops.  There was a mixture of those interested in the profession to those already within the industry looking to hone their skills.  More workshops are planned for 2022.
