Shorthorn Carcasses Make The Grade And Yield In Recent On-Farm Trial
BEEF
Shorthorn genetics defied the odds on the grid recently; two purebred heifers graded USDA Prime, Yield Grade 1. Two others on the same load stamped Prime Yield Grade 2. This combination of marbling and cutability is extremely rare; only 0.032% of all cattle quality and yield graded in 2011 achieved this feat, just 0.638% graded Prime Y2.
