The 'bloom' on a beef carcass refers to the deep pinkish red color that develops as the carcass cools. A stronger bloom generally reflects a higher quality of meat.
A beef carcass is a dead cow; a lamb carcass is a young sheep that is also dead. A dead young cow would be veal.
The highest use for low-grade beef is often in processed products such as ground beef, sausages, or meat blends, where it can be mixed with higher-quality cuts to enhance flavor and texture. It can also be used in slow-cooked dishes like stews or braised meals, where longer cooking times help tenderize the meat. Additionally, low-grade beef can be utilized in pet food or as ingredients in industrial applications.
Wendys i would argue that Five Guys Burgers and Fries use the highest quality beef.
The USDA uses a variety of measures for its quality levels. Beef, for example, is separated by purpose then quality. For slaughter cows, this includes carcass weight, muscling and fatness.
A5 steak refers to a grade of Wagyu beef from Japan, specifically the highest classification of quality. The "A" indicates the yield grade, while the "5" signifies the highest marbling score, tenderness, and overall quality. A5 Wagyu is known for its rich flavor, buttery texture, and exquisite marbling, making it a sought-after delicacy for steak enthusiasts. This level of quality is rare and often comes at a premium price.

In the context of meat, "GRS" typically stands for "Grade and Yield," which refers to the quality grading of meat based on certain standards and the expected yield of usable meat from a carcass. Grading helps consumers and producers assess the quality and value of the meat. Different grading systems exist depending on the type of meat, such as beef or pork, and can influence pricing and marketability.

Carcass values may be set at the following stages in the beef marketing chain: 1. Initial value of a hot carcase on the slaughter floor 2. Value of a chilled carcase 24 hours after slaughter 3. A chilled and MSA-graded carcase 24-hours post slaughter The keys of carcass criteria are muscle score, meat colour, fat content and color, and bruising.
Most goulash I have seen is made with ground beef, which comes from trim from all the steaks and other cuts from the entire carcass. Ground beef is made from skeletal muscle.
If there is a label on the carcass that entails that it is an Angus beef product, and if there is a CAB (Certified Angus Beef) label on the package, then that tells you that the cut of beef is Angus. Without such labeling, you really wouldn't know what breed of bovine the cut of beef came from.
