The USDA grading system provides a voluntary, uniform system by which producers, distributors, and consumers can measure differences the quality of meats and make price quality comparisons. There are two parts to the grading system: quality grades and yield grades. quality grades were established in 1927, and are a guide to the eating qualities of meat, its tenderness, juiciness, and flavor. Based on an animal's age and the meat's color, texture, and degree of marbling, the USDA quality grades for beef are prime, choice, select, standard, commercial, utility, cutter and canner. Yield grading was established in 1965 and is used to measure usable meat to fat and bone.
