Caviness Beef Packers donates $2M to West Texas A&M’s new meat lab
The new complex will benefit teaching and research in an expanded space designed to accommodate an ever-expanding faculty and student body.
Caviness Beef Packers, Hereford, Texas, donated $2 million to West Texas A&M University’s (WTAMU) new state-of-the-art meat lab. Named the Caviness Meat Science and Innovation Center, the center is part of the newly built WTAMU Agricultural Sciences Complex.
“Caviness Beef Packers has long been a supporter of WTAMU and the Department of Agricultural Sciences,” says Dr. Ty Lawrence, professor of agricultural sciences at WTAMU. “They have been an open door for research collaboration and opportunities to teach students about the beef processing industry. Their thoughtful generosity will ensure continued opportunities for WTAMU students for generations to come.”
