Excerpt from Market Classes and Grades of Pork Carcasses and Fresh Pork Cuts The term grade refers to definite groups that are based on degrees of three factors - conformation, finish, and quality. The full range of quality on most markets, considered as a whole, runs from the lowest quality of meat suitable for food to the highest quality it is possible to produce. Although this range is in reality composed of a large number of gradations, for practical use each grade includes a. Range of factors wide enough to offer no unneces sary complications and narrow enough to be adaptable to trading conditions as they are generally found. The range of variations within a given grade has the same extent as that found in every other grade, but this does not mean that each quality group or grade necessarily includes the same percentage of total supply from either a numerical or a quantitative standpoint.
