CARCASS CONTEST RULES

1. All market beef sold throughout the Monterey County Fair Junior Livestock Auction will be evaluated for the Carcass Contest. There will be no live pick-ups. Auction buyers will be requested to conform to this rule when designating disposition of animals purchased.

2. Carcasses will be graded at the meat packing company by USDA graders and the results compiled in cooperation with the Agricultural Extension Service. To be eligible for awards, the carcass must have a minimum USDA quality grade of high select. Results will be calculated for all steers/heifers entered.

3. Placings will be based on USDA yield and quality grades. The actual mechanics of applying these principles will be as follows:

A. Yield of boneless retail cuts to the nearest 0.1% will be determined from USDA yield grades.

B. Quality grades will be determined to the nearest one-third of a grade under current USDA standards.

C. Subtract 0.8% from the estimated yield of cuts for each one- third grade quality difference from high prime. This combines the yield and quality factors into a carcass index.

D. Ties in carcass index will be broken by dividing rib-eye area by hot carcass weight and carcasses ranked with higher values will be ranked first. Live and carcass pictures of each animal will be shown along with data on carcass evaluation.

E. Gold Seal Carcass of Merit will place above other Carcass of Merit & Carcass of Merit will place above other carcass contest placings.

4. The American System of Judging will be used.

5. 4-H and FFA will be judged together.

6. Market Steer and/or market heifer must place gold seal carcass of merit in carcass contest for breeder to be eligible for bred and fed award.
