Not long ago we were talking about Canada's new beef grading system and I thought for those of you who weren't quite clear on what it means that we would go over the method of grading again. Canada's new beef grading system is one which enables the grader to more accurately measure the amount of edible lean meat in a carcass of beef. This he does by having the carcass cut between the 1ith and 12th rib and measuring the thickness of fat at the rib eye. He can see the color and texture of the lean meat and if there is any fat in the muscle, called "marbling". The grade given helps the retailer tio buy the cuts of beef his customers like best. A and B carcasses are measured for fat levels and sold to the retailer as A or B 1, 2, 3, or 4. Most of the youthful cattle coming to market qualify for the A grade. Canada C and 0 are sometimes featured as economy beef. Now is the time to forget the terms red brand and blue brand and think of your A.B.Cs. Ask for Canada Grade A beef at your meat market the next time you're shopping.
