The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Agricultural
Marketing Service (AMS) is seeking public comments on revising the United
States Standards for Grades of Carcass Beef.
USDA is requesting comments on the beef yield grade
standard and carcass maturity as well as other topics. The current standards do
not adequately reflect the genetic and production changes that have taken place
in the cattle population since 1965 when a cutability or yield grade standard
was first adopted.
Comments
are accepted until November 13, 2014.
The
Federal Register is available here.
