Abstract

A multi-faceted Extension program was developed for livestock producers interested in entering the meat processing industry. Participants took part in two informational webinars and a case study trip that included industry tours and a workshop. The delivery of program materials using multiple formats was an effective way to convey industry relevant information to the participants to aid them in making decisions about future business ventures. This program model has the potential to be utilized by other Extension experts interested in providing more niche type programming to their stakeholders.
