WASHINGTON, D.C. The
USDA is updating feeder cattle
grade standards. The revision
reflects changes in the genetic
composition and production of
beef cattle since the current
grade standards were adopted in
1979.
The frame size grades, which
are an important tool used to
predict the weight at which an
animal will grade USDA
Choice, are updated to reflect
production and genetic changes.
USDA is also adjusting the min
imum requirements for the
muscle thickness grades and in
creasing the number of grades
from three to four to accommo
date thicker muscled cattle and
reflect current marketing prac
tices. The updated frame size
and muscle thickness grades will
more accurately reflect the value
of feeder cattle.
“Colorado State University
conducted a project for AMS to
study changes in beef industry
production and marketing prac
tices and in the genetic composi
tion of beef cattle. The study,
which was funded by AMS’s
Federal/State Marketing Im
provement Program, was com
pleted in 1998,” said Kathleen

Mcrrigan, AMS’s administrator.
Results of the study showed
that adjustments in grade stand
ards were justified and would
improve the standards because
there have been changes in pro
duction and marketing prac
tices, as well as genetic changes
in frame size and muscle thick
ness, during the past 20 years.
The notice will be published
in the Federal Register on June
27, 2000. In order to allow the
industry sufficient time to
update its current system, the
updated standards will be im
plemented October 1, 2000. A
copy of the notice is available
electronically at
http://www.ams.usda.gov/lsg/,
rulemaking.htm. Copies of the
official standards are available
from Herbert C. Abraham,
Chief, Standardization Branch,
