clarify the meaning of the
terms: carcass, side,
quarter, wholesale cut,
primal cut, and subprimal
cut. The terms are
currently used in the stan
dards but are not defined.
When beef is federally
graded, two grade marks are
applied - one for quality
(Prime, Choice, Good, etc.)
and one for yield (Yield
Grade No. 1, No. 2, etc.).
''H
Grading rules prohibit
removing either one of these
grade marks from a
federally graded carcass,
side, or quarter. Both marks
may be removed, but not
just one. However, when
federally graded beef is
marketed as retail cuts,
subprimal cuts, or wholesale
cuts substantially trimmed
of external fat, the yield
grade mark may be removed
and the beef may be of
ficially identified for its
quality grade only.
The proposed definitions
are:
Carcass - the two sides of
the same slaughtered animal
with or without the kidneys
and after removal of the
other viscera and the hide,
head, feet, and tail.

Side - each of the two parts
which results from splitting
a carcass lengthwide
through its -approximate
median plane.
Quarter - each df two
portions which results from
ribbing a side between the
12th and 13th ribs.
Wholesale cut - any one of
the following subdivisions of
a quarter: round, full loin (or
short loin and sirloin), rib,
chuck (square-cut chuck or
arm chuck), brisket, short
plate, flank, and foreshank.
Except for the full loin and
arm chuck, a combination of
two or more of these sub
divisions shall not be con
sidered a wholesale cut.
Primal cut - any one of the
major wholesale cuts -
round, full loin (or short loin
or sirloin), rib, and square
cut chuck. Briskets, short
plates, flanks, and
foreshanks are not primal
cuts.
Subprimal cut - a portion
of a primal or other
wholesale cut such as those
listed in the institutional

produced by beef
fabricators. Examples of
subprimal cuts include the
arm section of a square-cut
chuck, a rump and shank-off
round, ■ a boneless- brisket,
and a bone-in or boneless
strip loin. A subprimal cut
does not result from the
