  13. There is no such thing as letters for beef (or pork or lamb for that matter.) There are two kinds of grades put on beef and they are quality and yield grades. Quality grades are (in order from best to worst) Prime, Choice, Select, standard, Commercial, Cutter, and Canner. These are actually optional grades and the packing plant decides if they want the carcasses to be quality graded. The other type of grade is yield grade. Yield grade is (from best to worst) 1 to 5. this is mandatory and must be done on each carcass.

    A quality grade is a composite evaluation of factors that affect palatability of meat (tenderness, juiciness, and flavor). These factors include carcass maturity, firmness, texture, and color of lean, and the amount and distribution of marbling within the lean. Beef carcass quality grading is based on (1) degree of marbling and (2) degree of maturity.

    In beef, yield grades estimate the amount of boneless, closely trimmed retail cuts from the high-value parts of the carcass--the round, loin, rib, and chuck. However, they also show differences in the total yield of retail cuts. We expect a YG 1 carcass to have the highest percentage of boneless, closely trimmed retail cuts, or higher cutability, while a YG 5 carcass would have the lowest percentage of boneless, closely trimmed retail cuts, or the lowest cutability. The USDA Yield Grades are rated numerically and are 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. Yield Grade 1 denotes the highest yielding carcass and Yield Grade 5, the lowest.
