 Canada Beef participated in the 2022 World Butchers’ Challenge (WBC) in Sacramento, California, in September. Canada Beef President Michael Young was among the international judges selected to preside over the so-called Olympics of Meat. Young appreciated the opportunity to give back to the profession and showcase butchery to the world. “Competitions like the WBC provide viewers with a fantastic introduction into the skill, workmanship and creativity of butchers, and I hope that more people will pursue a career in the meat business as a result.” Judges for World Butchers’ Challenge including Michael Young, standing far right The WBC main event saw a record 13 teams from around the globe participate.
