Students from the University of New England are training to compete in the 2006 Australian Inter-Collegiate Meat Judging (I.C.M.J.) competition to be held from the 27th June -1st July. The ICMJ competition aims to encourage youth to delve into the many exciting and oportune areas of the meat industry.

This year all students will attend a 3 day training course in Armidale with special guest lecturer Dr. Tom Carr from the University of Illinois, USA;  followed by the judging competition held at Cargill Beef Australia, Tamworth. The students are required to judge beef, pork, and lamb classes in terms of yield and quality aspects.
