Yield Grade Stomping
Procedure Changed
The U.S. Department of
Agriculture (USDA) is notifying
retail grocers, trade groups, and
meat packers, of a change in
procedure for identifying beef
carcasses which have been of
ficially graded for yield of cuts.
Yield grading is a voluntary
service which is provided for a
fee, as is quality grading. Both
services are provided by the
Meat Grading Branch of the
Livestock Division, Of USDA’s
Agricultural Marketing Service.
Yield grades indicate the
percentage of salable meat in a
carcass and range from Yield
Grade 1, which indicates the
highest yield, to Yield Grade 5,
the lowest. The amount of waste
fat on a carcass is the most
significant factor affecting the
yield. Of the waste fat, the kidney
and pelvic fat makes a significant
part of the total.
In recent months, some meat
packers have begun presenting
carcasses for yield grading after
removing the kidney and pelvic
fat. This practice results in a
higher carcass yield grade,

reflecting the higher yield of cuts
for the entire carcass.
Previously, a carcass which was
yield graded was stamped once
on each quarter or primal cut
with the identifying shield shaped
yield grade stamp. To distinquish
between those carcasses yield
graded with the kidney and pelvic
fat intact and those yield graded
after removal of those fats, the
meat grading service now is
identifying the latter by double
stamping the yield grade shield
on each quarter or primal cut.
Carcasses yield graded with
kidney and pelvic fat intact will
continue to be identified by the
single yield grade stamp on each
quarter or primal cut.
Meat grading officials em
phasize that for buyers of whole
carcasses, it makes very little
difference whether the yield
grade is determined before or
after removal of kidney and
pelvic fat, but for those buying
quarters or primal cuts, it does
influence the yield of salable
product. Therefore, those buying
cuts or quarters need to note the
marking procedure used.

West European utilization of
corn is projected at 45.0 million
tons by 1980. With domestic
production at 33.4 million tons,
the implied net import
requirement is 11.6 million tons, a
decrease of 13 percent from the
1969-70-71-72 crop year average.
An implied net import
requirement of 11.6 million tons
of corn is also projected for 1975-
76, so that a stablizing of corn
imports is foreseen for 1975-76 to
1980-81. Assuming the United
States shares proportionately in
the decreased import need, U. S.
com exports to Western Europe
would fall to a level of about
seven million tons during this
period.
The U. S. share of net com
imports into Western Europe was
60 percent from 1960-61 to 1971-72,
or an annual average of 8.2
million tons. In 1972, however,
due largely to shortfalls in com
output in other world suppliers,
U. S. com sales to Western
Europe rose to 12 million tons
valued at over $6OO million.
French corn production would
account for the bulk of the ex
panded West European supply.
France accounted for 46 percent
of the region’s output in 1969-71,
and is expected to attain 56
percent in 1980
