Beef carcass classification
Classification for sale of beef / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Prime cut" redirects here. For the 1972 film, see Prime Cut.
Countries regulate the marketing and sale of beef by observing criteria of cattle carcasses at the abattoir (slaughterhouse) and classifying the carcasses. This classification, sometimes optional, can suggest a market demand for a particular animal's attributes and therefore the price owed to the producer.
