[QUOTE="Frankie, post: 142097, member: 13"] It's not a "misnomer." It's a USDA system for identifying cattle that meet certain criteria. Our grading system is admired around the world. I'm not going to argue about the 10% correlation, though I have heard meat scientiest from OSU say the correlation is higher, but we know that Choice beef is less likely to be tough than Select beef. I don't know if anyone ever found a tough Prime cut. It's expensive to do a WB shear force test on every animal that goes through the grading line, less expensive to identify the marbled beef. Tenderness is important; the quickest way to get a cow herd that produces tender beef is use a bull with a high IMF (marbling) EPD. Natrional research (BQA?) shows that consistency is the most important quality on the consumer's mind. [/QUOTE]
