The students, from CSU's School of Animal and Veterinary Sciences in Wagga, were named in the five-member national Intercollegiate Meat Judging (ICMJ) team after an industry training workshop in Brisbane earlier this month.
Mr Morely-Sattler is studying a Bachelor of Animal Science and is looking forward to learning more about the American meat industry.
"Taking part in the ICMJ program enables me to gain a better understanding of the practical side of what I am learning in my university studies and greatly improves my knowledge of the industry," he said.
The Australian meat judging team will depart in early January for a four-week industry tour of the US where they will compete in three competitions.
The annual competition is organised by the ICMJ Association to highlight careers in the meat industry and provide hands-on training in carcase evaluation and meat science.
