Beef Grading

Posts: 643
I often see posts about the grade of beef someone bought. I was born into the beef industry and know just enough to be dangerous trying explain the differences. I did leave and strike out on my own many years ago so haven't been around the industry in a very long time. Not much difference between a Prime- cut and a Choice+ cut but a lot of difference a Prime+ and Choice-. Did a little searching on the net and found this site that explains the grading where it is fairly easy to understand. Hope it is of interest to at least a few. Mike

Thanks... now I feel dumber! :blink:

Me too! :laugh: Notice the whole carcass is judged by the marbling of the ribeye between the 12th and 13th rib and that is a judgement call by the USDA inspector that is on duty at that plant at that time. I'm sure all inspectors across the US have the same 'eye'.

No doubt... you think with the technology there is they would have a probe that they stuck up the cows ares or something equivalent.
