The event is part of a national program to raise consumer confidence through offering proper management techniques and a commitment to quality within every segment of the industry. Attendees took a test to receive three-year nationwide certification.

The program was free. Registration was required. The Franklin County Cattlemen prepared the meal. For questions, contact Regional Extension agent, Ali Gotcher, at 256-332-8880 (office) or 334-752-1718 (cell phone).
