Hall Of Fame

Dr. Gary Smith, University Distinguished Professor at Colorado State University, is an inaugural member of the prestigious Meat Industry Hall of Fame. During his induction, he was described as a man whose “teaching accomplishments are legendary, his research efforts renowned and his personal enthusiasm for the meat business unsurpassed.”

In addition to his long list of honors, Smith has devoted many hours in service to industry associations and companies, including the beef checkoff, for which he repeatedly has served as a speaker during the dairy producer communications forum; and as he made Dairy Beef Quality Assurance (DBQA) and Beef Quality Assurance (BQA) a cornerstone of his career by helping industry members produce more consistent quality meat products, improve food safety and increase efficiency and profitability.
