USDA GRADES OF BEEF
USDA PRIME - Beef that qualifies for this grade is the BEST of the best and offers a large amount of fine fat marbling. Only about 2% of beef qualifies as USDA Prime.
At Wheat Ridge Poultry, we offer USDA Prime Beef in our fresh case when available and we are happy to special order USDA Prime cuts for your special celebration or daily meal.
USDA Choice is the next best quality grade with less marbling but is still offers great flavor and tenderness.
At Wheat Ridge Poultry, we carry upper 1/3 Choice and 2/3 Choice. Only about 5% of beef qualifies as upper 1/3 Choice and about 10% qualifies as upper 2/3 Choice. We elect to carry these grades because of the quality and price they offer.
Upper Choice cuts contain fine marbling, are full of flavor and are very tender but falls short of being graded USDA Prime. By offering these cuts, we help ensure you are not purchasing a USDA Choice steak that may be just above the USDA Select grade.
Upper Choice cuts also offer a better price point than Prime cuts which gives you more bang for your buck.
USDA Select Grade offers little to no marbling, is leaner and tends to be less tender and juicy.
