"70% Choice and 70% YG 2, Science Says We Can Do It" By Dr. Gene Rouse, Professor Emeritus, Iowa State University Dr. Jerry Lipsey, Executive Vice President, American Simmental Association |
The American Simmental Association and JBS Swift & Company have agreed to a fed cattle-marketing grid with near historic rewards for Choice, Yield Grade 2 carcasses. This arrangement has the potential to increase profits for every segment of the beef industry because it rewards superior genetics and management for products that can be produced at less cost. While traditional grids have rewarded superior marbling, few marketing agreements have focused on advancing both crucial factors of carcass value, quality and meat yield. Apparently, our industry has lacked the insight to ask seedstock producers, commercial herds and feedyards to deliver 70% Choice and 70% YG 1s and 2s in the form of fed cattle and carcasses. . . |
