Re:Choice or prime that is the question

[Ron Pratt]

I have to be blunt in my answer…I really wish I could buy a sub-primal that is rated and labeled as certified USDA PRIME beef! Back here in Illinois where they raise and fatten both grass fed and corn fed cattle any primals off carcasses rated as prime are grabbed up by the suppliers to the best steakhouses. Those prime units never make it to our suppliers except for the occasional few that slip by!
