OVERBROOK, Kan. — The results are in. The final scores are tabulated at the national intercollegiate meats judging contest, and Kansas State University has the winning team. One member of that team is Aaron Higbie. Now fast forward to the present. Aaron’s expertise in meats selection has continued to the point that he is operating his own meat processing business in rural Kansas.
Aaron Higbie is owner of Santa Fe Trail Meats in Overbrook, Kansas. Aaron is originally from a farm near Williamsburg. He was active in 4-H and FFA and studied animal science at K-State. In 1992, he was a member of K-State’s national championship meats judging team. He went on to get a master’s degree in meat science and served as head coach of the livestock judging team and the livestock and meat animal evaluation team at LSU.
