Dark cutters are those cattle that have undergone a lot of stress and panic before they were slaughtered. The adrenaline coursing through their bodies to their muscles make the muscle very dark, and also makes it tough and stringy to eat.

What do growth hormones do to the meat of beef cattle?

There are negative effects associated with hormone implants in the quality of meat: such include increase number of dark cutters, decreased marbling and decrease in tenderness in comparison with cattle that have not been implanted. Studies have shown that less implanted cattle achieved the Choice grade versus the "control" (non-implanted) group, and a higher number of carcasses from implanted cattle were found to be dark cutters (compared with no dark-cutters from the control). Both lower grades and decrease in colour aesthetics often equate to lower in tenderness. See the related links below for further information.

What are major negative traits that you should look for when judging market beef?

Are you referring to beef cattle or beef cuts? If you are talking about beef cuts, the two major things that are looked for are dark cuts, and fat quality and quantity. Dark cuts come from bruising before the animal was slaughtered, and from a high rate of cortisol and adrenaline in the animal's system prior to slaughter. With fat, there shouldn't be too much, especially around the edges, and not too little where it's really lean. It shouldn't have yellow fat (with the exception of those markets that are looking for "grass-fed" type beef), instead the fat should be white, with adequate marbling (fat inside the muscle or in the cut of beef).
