Beef Quality Grading
Used to predict the palatability (taste) of the meat.
Determined by the age and marbling (intramuscular fat deposits).

Quality Grades
Prime, Choice, Select and Standard Are the grades for young cattle Under 42
months of age. Commercial, Utility, Cutter and Canner Are the grades for aged cattle.

Yield Grading
Is the predicted cutability of the carcass (amount of muscle in comparison to fat.)
Best Grade is #1 it has a lot of muscle and little fat.
Worst Grade is #5 it has less muscle and more fat.
Grades are; 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.

Factors Affecting Yield Grades
Amount of external fat, 2/3 of the way around the ribeye, between the 12th and 13th rib.
Hot carcass weight. Size of the ribeye in square inches, between the 12th
and 13th rib. Amount of KPH, kidney pelvic and heart fat, or
internal fat.

Preliminary Yield Grade
Amount of External Fat Measured 2/3 way In inches Take the measurement

Amount of External Fat = the Preliminary yield grade.
External Fat (PYG)Preliminary Yield Grade 0.0 --------------- 2.0 0.2 --------------- 2.5 0.4 --------------- 3.0 0.5 --------------- 3.25 0.6 --------------- 3.5 0.8 --------------- 4.0 1.0 --------------- 4.5 1.2 --------------- 5.0

1 is the Best, 5 is the Worst
We want the final yield grade to reflect the carcass’s cutability.
Fat is Bad, we always add. Meat is Good, we always subtract.

Hot Carcass WeightEvery 100 lbs adjust 1.2; every 50 adjust .6;
every 25 adjust .3; every 8 adjust .1
HCW Square Inch 400 8.6 450 9.2 500 9.8 600 11.0 625 11.3 650 11.6 658 11.7

Adjust for Muscling
Add or Subtract .3 from the preliminary yield grade for every square inch different from the average.
More muscle than needed = Subtract Less muscle than needed = Add To the preliminary yield grade.

Adjust for KPH
For every percent more or less than the average of 3.5% adjust the PYG .2
If it only has 1.5% KPH, it is 2% less times by .2 = .4 adjustment.

Example- Measures
External Fat is .2 HCW = 700 pounds needs a 12.2 ribeye area It measures a 14.2 ribeye area. 2.5% KPH

Example – Solve
External Fat is .2 = PYG of 2.5 Adjust for ribeye size - .6
14.2 HAS 1.9 12.2 NEEDED 2.0 Difference X .3 Adjustment 0.6 SUBTRACTED From the PYG

Example – Solve
Adjust for KPH Average KPH = 3.5 %
HAS 2.5 % Difference 1.0 % Adjust X .2 Equals .2 Subtract from the PYG
