white feathers painted
diagonally across the pink
meat. These feathers are
actually lines of fat between
the ribs. The more feathers -
the more marbling as a
general rule of thumb.
Unlike the emphasis
placed on marbling in beef in
order for the meat to be top
quality, the NLMB states
marbling may have only a
limited role as a taste
improver in lamb. What
would be considered as
traces of marbling in beef, is
felt to be enough in lamb,
according to the meat ex
perts. ,
Age in lambs plays an
important role in the way
they are graded by USDA.
Their standard for a carcass
to be graded as a lamb
depend on the animal’s
bones. If it is young, the
bones m the leg will show
pearly, smooth white car
tilage when the joint is ex
posed.

Once the lamb reaches its
first birthday, and some up
to 14 months, the bones m the
leg have finished growing
and have ossified and
become hard, porous, and
brittle.
According to NLMB and
the USD A, the younger the
lamb, the milder the meat’s
flavor and the more tender
the chops and cuts.
The USD/ grading
standards determine the
classes of ovine meat by
three age groups, lamb,
yearling mutton and mutton.
These classes are used
without discrimination
between sexes unless the
carcass shows the heavy
neck and shoulders
associated with a ram. In
that case, the carcass is
graded down depending on
the extent of development.
The quality grades of
young ovine carcasses are
prune, choice and good,
depending on muscling and
marbling. The mature
classes also have these same
three grades, but the
standards are lower for
marbling with a greater
tolerance for more finish.
Yield grades in lamb and
mutton classes are stan
dards for judging the
cutability or amount of meat
on the carcass. There are
five yield grades numbered 1
through 5, with one being the
best.
As external finish on the
lamb carcasses increase,
the yield grade is lowered.
The more wasty fat the_
carcass carries, the smaller
the yield of lean meat after
the fat is tnmmed away.
Now that you’ve learned
the reasons why lambs and
mutton are graded for
quality and yield, don’t
chuck the leg of lamb you’ve
got waiting in the
refrigerator if it’s not per
fect. But, keeep the facts in
mind on your next tnp to the
butcher shop so that your
dollars will buy the best.
