[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1704332, member: 18945"] I don't know about currently, but as I understood it several years ago, they came here 3 ways. Frozen boxed beef that was randomly opened here and inspected by USDA inspectors and the entire lot given the 'product of USA' stamp. Whole chilled carcasses via ship and reefer truck, that were inspected by USDA inspectors at the US processing facilities and given the 'product of USA' stamp. Live carcasses, either going straight to feed lots or to directly slaughter facilities, which meant that eventually, when processed would also get the coveted (tho often meaningless) 'Product of USA' stamp even tho none of the above ever ate a mouthful of US grass in it's whole life. We most certainly import a huge amount of lean beef trim for mixing with US produced beef fat for them big macs and whataburgers.. But, every pound of it competes against the American beef producer's product. [/QUOTE]
