[Livestock and Fisheries News=Reporter Nara Park] South Chungcheong Hanwoo has once again set new quality standards for the national Hanwoo industry. At the 28th National Hanwoo Ability Evaluation Contest, farmer Baek Deok-hwan from Buyeo won the President's Award, and farmer No Young-seop from Nonsan secured the Wholesalers' Association Chairman's Award, firmly proving that South Chungcheong's Hanwoo improvement and management techniques are at the highest level in the nation. The National Hanwoo Ability Evaluation Contest is the most prestigious domestic competition that comprehensively evaluates the genetic ability, meat quality, meat quantity, and management level of Hanwoo. It does not simply look at the grade after slaughter but meticulously assesses the completeness of high-quality meat traits such as △carcass weight △top loin eye area △intramuscular fat content (marbling) △meat color and fat color balance, etc.
