 How Cattle that are placed in a particular class 



Are Graded on a given day are equally suited to 

 meet the requirements of that class. 

 Hence they are graded according to their ability to realize 

 these requirements. The standard grades are prime, 

 choice, good, medium, fair, plain, common and poor. 

 Prime animals are fully finished and of improved type. 

 Choice animals are practically as good in type, but are 

 not so perfectly finished. Good animals are not as 

 desirable as prime, either in condition or type. Medium 

 steers are practically of the same quality as good, but not 

 their equal in condition, while fair steers fall below 

 medium in quality, type and condition. Both medium 

 and fair steers are quite numerous on the market, nearly 

 50 percent of steers falling in these two grades. Plain 

 steers are deficient in type and quality, but carry some 

 flesh, while common steers lack flesh to a greater extent. 

 Poor steers are typical of their name, inferior in practically 

 all respects.
