SWFREC - Carcass

A cattle producer must be able to combine "eyeball" or subjective evaluation with the more objective methods of evaluation to determine if the offspring being produced could meet current market demands. 

In market animal evaluation, a producer must be able to recognize an animal's performance potential and select those animals which will be most efficient and profitable and meet consumer demand.  A complete understanding of factors affecting carcass quality and yield grade is essential to every producer, feeder, buyer, and consumer of livestock and meat.
