Livestock and Grain Market News Service 

Des Moines, Iowa 

The USDA Agricultural Marketing Service is proud to present the 2013 edition of the Annual Meat Trade 

Review, which contains market price information for cattle, hogs, and sheep, as well as beef, pork, lamb, veal, 

various livestock by-products, and grain. As in previous years, this annual summary also provides actual 

livestock slaughter and meat production data supplied by the USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service, 

whose contributions to this book are always appreciated. 

While this publication contains a wealth of valuable information, the Annual Meat Trade Review is only a 

condensed version of the market data that is actually available. More detailed historical market information 

and statistics for all of the reported commodities are available upon request from the Livestock and Grain 

Market News office in Des Moines, Iowa. Furthermore, for current market reports and publications, visit our 

web site at www.ams.usda.gov/lpsmarketnewspage. 

We appreciate this opportunity to serve you and hope that the 2013 Annual Meat Trade Review proves useful 

in the coming years. Please feel free to contact our office if we can ever be of service. 

Sincerely,

Glossary

100 % Lean (100%) - Cuts of meat, usually from Cutter cow carcasses, that are nearly completely free of fat. 

Blood Meal - Pulverized or finely ground dried blood. Water is usually removed by either flash drying or by the conventional cooker 

method. Blood meal is high in protein (85 percent) and is used as a feed additive. Valued as a good source of natural lysine. 

Bob Veal - A house graded baby dairy calf slaughtered at 1-3 weeks of age based upon freshness and lean texture. Slaughter weight 

ranges between 50-110 pounds. Meat is sold mostly for trimmings and for lower priced calf cuts. The term originated in the 

days when lightweight calf carcasses were tail bobbed instead of trying to skin the small tail. 

Boning Utility – Industry term for thin, low grade cattle, usually cows. These cattle are normally boned for ground beef production 

after the removal of merchandisable cuts. Also known as Boners. 

Breaking Utility – Industry term for a low grade of cattle, usually cows, normally with a yield grade range of 2-4, which are processed 

into various cuts. Also known as Breakers. 

Butt Branded - In hides, refers to a hide which has had a brand placed on the portion of the skin covering the rump area of the 

animal. 

By-Products - The edible and inedible organs, glands, and fat of a meat animal. (See also Variety Meats.) 

C.A.F. - Cost after freight. Trades made on a delivered basis and reported with freight overages included. 

Canner - The lowest USDA quality grade of beef. These animals, usually cows, are too thin to yield many merchandisable cuts of meat 

and are usually used for boneless processing meat. 

Cap and Wedge Meat – The meat removed from the scapula or shoulder bone. Also called lifter meat or blade meat. 

Carlot - Normally used to refer to a truckload quantity which is generally accepted as being 40,000 pounds. 

Chemical Lean - Refers to the fat analysis of a product, usually trimmings, as determined through a chemical test. Expressed as a 

percentage of lean. 

Choice White Grease - Rendered, inedible pork fat. Used in pet foods and animal feeds. 

Coarse Ground Beef - Ground beef prepared from boneless beef or beef trimmings from domestic fed cattle. The product, of a 

rather large particle size, is used for further processing. (See also Coarse Ground Blended Beef.) 

Coarse Ground Blended Beef - Ground beef prepared, in any combination, from boneless beef or beef trimmings from domestic fed 

cattle, dairybreeds, or cows and bulls. The product, of a rather large particle size, is used for further processing. (See also 

Coarse Ground Beef.) 

Colorado Branded - In hides, refers to placement of a brand on the side of an animal, although not necessarily from Colorado. Also 

called Collies. 

Combo - A large, open, tub-like container in which meat is commonly transported, especially meat destined for further processing. 

Roughly equivalent to 2000 pounds in weight. 

Cut-Out - A calculation representing the approximate value of a total unit (usually a carcass) based upon the prices received for its 

respective parts. The prices for these parts are multiplied by their respective yield to the whole and the products are summed

into the final cutout. 

Cutter - The next to lowest USDA quality grade for beef. These animals, usually cows, are normally too thin to yield but a few 

merchandisable cuts of meat but are suitable for the production of boneless beef. 

Distributive - Refers to trades made in amounts usually much less than carlot; such trades as walk-in business and delivery to local 

retailers or HRI businesses. These trades normally reflect the added cost of extra handling. 

Dressing Percentage - Refers to the yield of dressed carcass from a live animal. 

Drop - 1) Refers to primal cuts as they are removed from the carcass before any further trimming, etc, has been done to them (i.e., 

drop loin, etc.). Sometimes also called commodity product. 2) Refers to the offal which "drops" out of a carcass in the 

slaughter operation. Commonly associated with most variety meats. (See also Offal.) 

Dry Rendered Tankage (DRT) - Cooked residue remaining after lard or tallow has been released in the dry rendering process. Also 

called "cracklings". Usually ground and added to feed with a beef protein level of approximately 44 percent and a pork 

protein level of approximately 55 percent. 

Eastern Cornbelt Organic Grain and Feedstuffs – Illinois, Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Pennsylvania, New York, and North Carolina 

Eastern Cornbelt Hogs – Includes plant locations east of the Mississippi River

F.O.B. - Freight on Board or Free on Board. Trades made in which the cost of freight is backed off to arrive at the base price of the 

product. Usually associated with a basis point from which freight is calculated, such as Omaha. 

Fat Limitations (FL) – The maximum fat limitation for surface fat thickness and/or seam fat specified in item descriptions for 

 boxed beef cuts. 

Foresaddle - The unsplit front half of a veal or lamb carcass. 

Heel - A group of small muscles located in the lower portion of the outside round. 

Hide-On - Veal carcasses sold with the hide intact. Usually used when calf is slaughtered and broken at different facilities to reduce 

shrink through moisture loss. Normally dresses 70 percent. 

Hide-Off - Veal carcasses sold with the hide removed. Usually done in facilities where slaughtering and breaking both take place. 

Normally dresses 62.5 percent. 

Hindsaddle - The unsplit rear half of a lamb or veal carcass. Corresponds to the hindquarter in beef. 
72 

Glossary

IMPS (Institutional Meat Purchasing Specifications) - Written specifications that describe in detail how various cuts of meat are 

produced and recommended for procurement. Prepared by AMS's Standardization Branch. 

Lard - The fat rendered from fresh, clean, sound fatty tissues of USDA inspected and passed hog carcasses. 

Less-than-Carlot (LCL) - Volume made up of less than the 40,000 pounds normally associated with a full truck load. 

Loose Lard - Lard that is bulk packaged (railcars or trucks). 

Meat and Bone Meal - The dry, rendered product derived from animal tissue that is ground into meal for a feed additive. The 

standard protein level is 50 percent. 

Native - In hides, refers to a hide that has not been branded. 

North Central - Area usually associated with the following states: Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, and Wisconsin. 

Northeast - Area usually associated with the following states: Massachusetts, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, 

Delaware, Connecticut, and Vermont. 

Offal - In red meat species, the organs or parts from the thoracic and abdominal cavities and the tongue. (See also By-Products.) 

One Hundred Percent Lean (100%) - Cuts of meat, usually from Cutter cow carcasses, that have been nearly completely free of fat. 

Pelt - The skin and attached wool from a sheep carcass. 

Primals - The basic major cuts of meat into which carcasses or sides are separated. 

Regular Liver – Livers obtained from cow carcasses. 

Regular Tripe – Tripe obtained from cow carcasses. 

Rendering - The separation of fats and oils from the supportive connective tissue by heating the fats and oils until they are fluid. 

River Hides - Hides from cattle produced mainly in the major cattle producing states along the upper Missouri River - Nebraska, 

Iowa, Missouri, and Kansas. 

Scalded - Cleaned in boiling or very hot water (i.e., scalded tripe, etc). 

Seedless Bellies - Pork bellies free of enlarged, soft, porous, dark, or seedy mammary gland tissue. 

Select Livers - Refers to livers from young beef animals as opposed to regular livers that come from older animals (cows). (See also 

Regular Livers.) 

Shorn Pelts - Pelts from lambs that have been clipped at some point before slaughter. Also known as shearlings. Categories as 

follows: Fall Clips 1-2" wool length; No. 1's 5/8-1" length; No. 2's 3/8-5/8"; No. 3's 1/8-3/8" (1/4" minimum also used); 

No. 4's 1/8" or less. Length is measured where wool is the shortest - usually along the side or belly. Grading is based on 

shortest length, not average length. Shorn pelts of 2-3" are usually sold as wools or unshorns. (See also Unshorn Pelts.) 

Simple Average - Mathematical expression obtained by calculating the mean of several numbers. (See also Weighted Average.) 

Special Fed - Refers to veal calves that are fed a special milk formula to prohibit the development of the red color normally associated 

with the meat of older beef animals. They are kept on this formula for 16-24 weeks, usually 18 weeks. Slaughter weights 

range between 300-500 pounds. Also known as Formula Fed, Milk Fed, and Natures. 

Square-Cut - Refers normally to the manner of cutting a beef or veal primal chuck. The brisket or breast and the foreshank are 

removed by a cut perpendicular to the rib-chuck separation and passing through the cartilaginous juncture of the first rib and 

sternum. The resultant item is in the approximate shape of a square. In pork ears, refers to the removal via straight cut of the 

two flaps of skin remaining after the removal of the ear canal (approximately a 30% yield loss). 

Tankage - Cooked animal material (except for paunch contents), either before or after pressing or extracting. (See also Dry Rendered 

Tankage.) 

Tallow - The rendered fat from carcasses of ruminant animals. 

Texas Steer or Heifer - In hides, once used to refer to side branded hides of a narrow close compact pattern, and plump thickness 

although not necessarily from Texas. In contemporary usage, the brand is not limited to just the side. 

Tripe - The cleaned and denuded beef rumen and reticulum. Tripe from the rumen is considered normal tripe. Tripe from the 

reticulum is called honeycomb tripe. Tripe from cow carcasses is called regular tripe. 

Unshorn Pelts - Also known as "wools". Can be anything with a wool length of over 1-1/2" but usually over 3" in length. Western 

slope are usually 2-1/2" but vary between 1-3/8" - 3". Genuine Spring Lamb 1-1/2" - 3". Spring Lamb varies widely 

depending on the area from which they come. This category is usually misused as not all reported Spring Lambs are Genuine 

Spring Lambs. (See also Shorn Pelts.) 

Upper Midwest Organic Grain and Feedstuffs - Includes Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Eastern Nebraska, and Eastern Dakotas

Variety Meats - A term usually used to describe offal items such as heart, liver, tongue, brain, sweetbread, etc. (See also Offal.)
