The North Texas Cattleman’s Roundup will be at 5 p.m. on April 5 at the City of Bowie Community Center.
Melanie Potter, new county AgriLife Extension family consumer and health agent, will present a cooking demonstration on the similarities and differences between cooking with grass fed beef or grain fed beef.
Potter has been a contributing member to the Dinner Tonight! Health Cooking School program through instruction in more than a dozen different programs as well as being a contributing author for Dinner Tonight! Essentials Cookbook.
Her work was recognized when she received a second place National Family Health and Wellness Award from the National Extension Association for Family and Consumer Sciences.
Dan Hale, profession and extension meat specialist at Texas A&M University, also will make a comparison of grass fed and grain fed beef and the advantages of both.
Hale interprets and extends information on diet/health, food safety, livestock growth and meat science to consumers, health professionals, retailers, food service manager, packers, processors and livestock producers.
Hale has worked with the National Consumer Retail Beef Study, the National Market Basket Survey and the Beef Tenderness Survey, which examined supplies of beef offered at the retail meat case and determined what consumers want in meat products.
The grazing hour will be at 5 p.m. and the programs will intermingle during the evening.
