That stat about beef yield grades surprised me at a workshop

I went to a grading seminar in Kansas City last month, and the instructor said over 60% of beef carcasses grade Choice or higher now... I always figured most were Select or lower. How is that affecting the way you guys buy primals for your shops?

I read that 70% of corn fed beef grades Choice now.

Hate it when those stats catch you off guard like that.

Whoa... wait, what??? That actually makes me stop and think for a second. I swear I've seen numbers like that thrown around before and just brushed them off. Like, I remember reading that something like 90% of businesses fail in their first year... but then you hear it's actually closer to 20% or something. It just messes with your head how those wild claims stick with you.
