Texas Tech's Meat Judging Team has proven it's the cream of the crop, bringing home a dozen national championship trophies over the past 15 years.
"Our success today is due to many years of alumni, and people who have come through here, that have set a standard," said Mark Miller, the San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo Distinguished Chair in Meat Science who serves as the team's coach. "We have a program that's set up to try to teach everyone to pursue excellence."
