[QUOTE="Brandonm2, post: 116316, member: 2095"] Yes it is. Most of the beef we import is unfinished. It is generally range stuff that the whole carcass was chopped into lean trimmings. The processors take lean trimmings (either from our culls or Australia's) and mix it with the fat trimmings off of our choice steers and it becomes most of the burger we eat at the burger chains. This is why the packers and processors are opposing country of origin labeling (COOL). They know that there could be ~500 cows from two or three or four different countries in every 5 lb chub of ground beef sold and they certainly don't want the consumer to know that. If we got rid of all our own burger meat cattle, I don't believe that we would suddenly start grinding up Choice YG2 steers for SAM's clubs' burger patties. [/QUOTE]
