I figured they just took the gluten out.
You need to find an old school butcher like Dun uses. His carries everything.

1. They really want the Government to declare dairy cattle "Genetically Engineered Exotic Cattle and not true Beef"
2. Then to ban the sale of dairy slaughter cows as genetically engineered exotics unfit for human consumption.
3. Followed by extending the ban to beef slaughter cows.
4. Then to extend the law and ban the sale of all beef graded standard or lower as unfit for human consumption.
They hope to divide and conquer the beef industry by agitating beef producers to turn on dairy producers.
They whisper in the beef producer's ear the siren's song of greed....
"Just think how much your beef cattle would be worth if we worked together and got rid of all the dairy beef."
One step at a time. Today dairy cows, tomorrow the world.

Her is a pic of some meat I just bought at the grocery store.
It does have a Black Canyon label on it, but it does NOT have a USDA grade label on it. None of the meats I looked at had a USDA grade label on it.
Nor does the grocer have to since you are looking at boxed meat which is sold for value not grade. Your grocer most likely has a standing order for X pounds of commercial grade or better meat per week. The grade is displayed on the box but this is then end of the audit trail for the grocer who sells by price and not quality. If you go to a true meat market that actually has a trained butcher who sells by grade the grade must be shown and verifiable because the USDA will audit this. With unskilled labor running the meat departments in most chains the risk of failing an audit is too great to sell meat by any other method hence we have boxed meat.
The good thing about this is its cheap meat and if the market is flooded with meat you can pick up higher quality meats than what the store orders due to oversupply. If you want to buy graded meat, find a meat market that actually has a butcher and he will fix you up.
Hold on a second Jo. Are you saying a place already exists where 'the masses' could go, should they be so inclined, to purchase beef already graded. You say this place is a meat market or a butcher shop? That has an actual, true, butcher in their employ? Are you saying we don't need more regulations because there is a place already available for the services in question? Fascinating!
Ok. Sarcasm off.

But that's not the point.
The point is, the public has the right to know what USDA grade they are buying regardless of your taste, preference or pocketbook or theirs and this pic is more proof there is a USDA system already in place to accomplish USDA labeling of all beef. The only thing needed is for the USDA to make labeling mandatory for all beef, which I am in favor of, which would let the free market system work so beef prices could go up.
