MARYSVILLE, Ohio — Ohio is hosting a new Beef 510 program, designed to build on the original 509 program to enhance producer knowledge from the pasture to the plate.

It will also include plenty of cooler time so participants can refresh their carcass grading skills and even bring their own steaks to compete in the BEEF (Best Ever Eating Frenzy) Contest.

The Beef 510 program will be held April 9 at the Ohio State University Animal Sciences building located at 2029 Fyffe Road in Columbus.

The program begins with registration at 9 a.m. and concludes with the awards and program wrap-up at 6 p.m.
