The <strong>American</strong> <strong>Simmental</strong> Association and JBS SA have teamed up<br />

to offer a better approach to grid marketing with the new 70:70<br />

value based marketing grid available now at Swift’s Grand Island Nebraska and Greeley Colorado harvest facilities.<br />

This carcass pricing option offers the opportunity for<br />

producers to take advantage of significant premiums for superior<br />

Yield Grades in addition to the standard premiums for<br />

Quality Grade offered by nearly all grids. The time has come to<br />

price harvest cattle at levels that more closely reflect their actual<br />

red meat cutout value. 70:70 is a positive step in that direction.<br />

The beef industry has given significant lip service to the goal of<br />

70:70:0 for some time because loads of cattle that produce carcasses<br />

which are 70% Choice or higher, 70% Yield Grades 1 and 2 with no or minimal “outs” make money for<br />

every segment of the production chain. The USDA publishes beef industry averages of 66:47:22, hardly getting<br />

If you believe producing cattle that make 70:70 can help<br />

you and the greater beef industry be more profitable or<br />

you have interest in the new 70:70 Grid from JBS SA<br />

of millions of dollars each year. <strong>Simmental</strong> cross<br />

steers that approach 50% Continental and 50% British<br />

genetics offer the industry’s best chance to produce cattle<br />

that can achieve the goal of 70:70:0. Over 4,500 sire<br />
