Sympathy drives buyers to ungraded beef from Farmer's Fed
In Dallas shoppers lined up to buy ungraded beef from Farmer's Fed Beef, partly owned by Oklahoma rancher Wayne Burrows. The meat, weighing 600 to 800 pounds and grain fed for six weeks, was marketed as finest quality though USDA grading differed. Some customers assumed USDA choice. A local market ground the same grade to avoid spoilage as sales fell. USDA noted compliance with rules but suggested dropping vague claims like finest quality and all packs are fed beef.
