[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 17742"] When I address quality vs yield grade I'm refering to the USDA grading system. If you are satisfied with the quality (not quality grade) of the beef then you are doing it right. for the yield aspect (not yield grade) if the butcher doesn't have to trim and dispose of a lot of fat either internal or external and the cuts are trimmed as close as you like, then you're doing that part right too. Persoanlly we like beef that are 2 to 2 1/2, it tastes more like beef. But we also like a lot of wild game so we prefer a lot of flavor in our meat. Just my opinions. dun > I've seen a few posts within these > boards that touch on the debate of > quality vs quantity when it comes > to which breed to choose and what > is more important.
