Vandal Brand Meats We offer a wide variety of high-quality meat products produced by our students, faculty and staff.

The purpose of the University of Idaho Meat Science Laboratory is to provide a facility to conduct teaching, research and public service activities for the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences Department of Animal, Veterinary and Food Sciences. It is devoted to the development of science, the application of that science and to the solution of the problems in animal and meat science. Vandal Brand Meats was opened to provide a sales outlet to sell the meat products generated by these activities. These sales help compensate for the cost of the livestock, supplies, student labor and maintenance of the facilities. Although the Vandal Brand Meats name has been in use since 1988, the facility has been on campus for more than 40 years.

Meet Eli, one of our Vandal Brand Meats student employees!

Eli is originally from Idaho Falls and is a junior studying animal veterinary science with a production option. This is her second year working at Vandal Brand Meats. 🥩

"My favorite part has been learning because when I started college, I didn't think I'd get a lot of hands-on experience with stuff. I thought I'd be more like watching other people doing it," she said. "But my favorite part has been being able to do it and know that I can do it."

When asked about the atmosphere at Vandal Brand Meats, Eli said it's cold - literally.

"Other than that, if you make a mistake, no one's, like, 'get out,'" she said. "They're very much like 'We'll do it better next time. Here's what you did wrong. Here's how you can improve.'"

Not only has this experience capitalized on her education, but it has helped prepare her for a future career.

"Since this is directly what I want to go into, I would say almost every experience I have here prepares me for my future in one way or another," said Eli. "There's nothing I do here that's probably not what I'm going to do in the future."

Outside of her regular duties, Eli has attended multiple conventions with Vandal Brand Meats. After graduating she hopes to study meat science in graduate school before entering a profession in production agriculture.

Congratulations on all you've accomplished at Vandal Brand Meats, Eli!

This summer Vandal Brand Meats welcomed Keegan Claiborn on the team as an intern.

Keegan, a Filer native, graduated high school this spring prior to joining the crew. Despite his young age, this summer wasn't his first exposure to the meat science industry. Keegan spent multiple years competing in the Idaho FFA Meats Evaluation and Technology Career Development Event right here on campus.

Keegan finished his internship earlier this month and is headed to college. His favorite cut of meat is a flat iron steak.

Congratulations on an incredible internship summer, Keegan! 🥩
