(COOL) NEW!
Country of Origin Label
Mandatory Country of Origin Labeling (COOL) was implemented starting
on September 30, 2008 by the USDA. As a result, all cuts of beef,
pork, lamb, and goat must have documentation as to the origin of
the animals to be marketed in the U.S. and international meat industry.
This act will require effective documentation of 4-H or FFA market
animal projects that will be sold for meat purposes. Please contact
Marlin with questions!
