Program Objectives

Beef Production From Conception to Consumption is designed to educate students in all aspects of generating beef products.

Students will enroll in a curriculum that mirrors the biological timeline of producing a beef product, from the initial breeding of the animal until the consumer has a steak-on-a-plate.

The final meat products will meet high quality standards prior to being offered to the public for sale.

The C2C program objectives include:

• developing a distance delivery beef production curriculum
• maintaining and expanding the existing articulation agreement between Sul Ross and Odessa College
• establishing student internship opportunities through the Student Career Experience Program (SCEP) of the USDA Livestock and Seed Program
• educating and recruiting prospective students through partnerships with
  • Texas AgriLife Extension Service 4-H and Youth Development programs
  • College Tech Prep
• providing tuition support to students enrolled in C2C courses
• obtaining scientific equipment for instructional and hands-on use at Odessa College
