Ruling May Cost Farmers Beef Grading Changes Questioned
A federal court ruling in Omaha may cost U S consumers and cattle producers about 25 million dollars annually.

The changes would slightly reduce marbling needed for the Choice label, potentially offering leaner meat and more uniform products, though critics fear tenderness and flavor differences.
