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 />

close to meeting the needs of this business and the 22%<br />
“out” cattle, cost the beef industry and its participants hundreds<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 />
identified SimAngus steers fed through the <strong>American</strong><br />

average 73:65:4 and with built in heterosis and maternal<br />

everyone involved in their production.<br />
