34th Midwest Processed/Cured Meat Workshop

February 5, 2011

111 Weber Hall, Northeast corner of KSU Campus, Manhattan, KS

(on Claflin Rd just west of N. Manhattan Ave. intersection)

Program: Learn innovative strategies to enhance your business! Bob Danler will present strategies and techniques you can use to price your products, starting with your projected finished product sales price and working backwards to determine your raw material costs. Ever wondered if you could take a shortcut with jerky marination using short time tumbling instead of overnight soaking? Garrett Skaar will show you what differences you might encounter in jerky quality. This is also a great opportunity to see, hear and ask questions as state award winning meat processors demonstrate the manufacture of their products. Vince Stroot will share his experiences and techniques in making award winning summer sausage and pepperoni. Nick Bowman and Matt Carselowey will demonstrate production of their award winning bratwurst. The “Local” food movement is increasing and Alan Waggoner will share his strategies for increasing sales through marketing local meats. Consumers are looking for more flavor options so Brandon Goehring will demonstrate how you can add flavored bacon to your bacon product line. Get a competitive advantage as Dr. John Unruh demonstrates the new innovative beef round cuts. Going green is a popular business strategy. Dr. Terry Houser will show you how you could “go green” through goat composting. Learn how meat quality is affected by using traditional fluorescent display lighting compared to LED lighting from Kyle Steele. Mobile slaughter is an opportunity under USDA. Patty Clark and Mari Tucker will discuss how you can take advantage of mobile slaughter in Kansas. Come to the workshop and learn product strategies that could result in greater sales and business opportunities.
