Packers File Meat Grade Suit Over New Standards
Seventeen meat packers representing 80 percent of the baby beef market sue in federal court to block changes in the proposed "good" grade standards claiming higher marbling rules and longer feeding raise cattle costs by about 3.8 million dollars annually. They allege downgrading would push baby beef from good to standard and reduce salability to chain store buyers while critics say new rules will raise costs but not hurt quality. The suit names Earl Butz and other USDA officials as defendants and seeks an injunction ahead of a June 16 hearing before Judge William M. Taylor Jr.
