Locally Grown
Most of our meat comes from right here at Purdue. We raise cattle, swine, sheep, and poultry just west of town at our Purdue Animal Sciences farm. The animals are bred, fed, harvested, and processed by Purdue students and staff to bring you fresh, high-quality, locally-grown meat. Look for the labels “Locally Grown” to know you are eating meat raised right here.
Dry-Aged Beef
We age our beef in the cooler for an average of 14 days before it is cut, packaged, and available for sale to you. The extra time spent aging causes our steaks and roasts to be more tender and have a stronger flavor than what you would find at a common supermarket. Try it, we promise you won’t be disappointed!
Purdue Group Purchases
We give a 10% discount to all Purdue groups and student organizations when they purchase meat from us. This can be anything from a special picnic in your department to the weekly meals that are prepared in a Greek house. We will also accept an internal Purdue account number for the purchase.
Support Purdue
Proceeds from our meat sales go towards offsetting the costs of educating Purdue students about the food animal industry. These expenses include the cost of animals, staff, and equipment. We are the only functioning university meat lab in the state of Indiana, and we feel it is important to educate our future leaders on the production of safe, high-quality meat to feed our growing world. When you purchase meat from the Boilermaker Butcher Block, you are getting a great product and supporting a great endeavor!
Located in Smith Hall, Room 170, the Butcher Block is open from 2 – 5:30 p.m. on Wednesdays and Fridays.

The Butcher Block accepts credit and debit cards (Visa, MasterCard & Discover).

Acoustic testing will be taking place at Herrick Lab on Thursday, Jan. 17 from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. The testing will result in a loud roar of noise, similar to the sound of a waterfall, and noise levels may reach as high as 75 to 80 dB outside for about an hour in duration.
There is no longer a need to close S. Russell Street in order to facilitate the testing, so S. Russell Street will remain open on Jan. 17. Please exercise caution when traveling through the area though as the acoustic testing could be distracting.

To facilitate the collection of computer hardware and software inventories, ITaP CSDS (desktop support) has requested that everyone keep their machines powered on for the next couple of weeks, including evenings and weekends. Additionally, it is requested that computers that have not been powered on recently be turned on and that laptops maintain a hard-wired connection as much as possible.
An additional benefit of leaving machines on during this period of time is that it will help make sure everyone gets all of the latest security patches coming out later this week.
Please remember to log off your computer at the end of the business day as some of the updates will reboot the machines during the maintenance window, between 2 and 5 a.m.
If you have questions, please contact the Customer Service Center at 494-4000 or at itap@purdue.edu.
