The number rose substantially largely because of the backlog of cattle due to an inability to get them harvested in a timely manner at the height of the pandemic. Add in the shutting down of restaurants because of COVID, and the volume of Prime carcasses was much greater than the industry was prepared to utilize. Nonetheless, even with a growing supply of higher quality carcasses grid premiums remained “pretty stout. When you can sell more product and still keep a premium up, that’s a great thing for cattlemen,” said Dykstra. He opined that as restaurants begin to open back up more fully and as more retailers feature Prime in their meat case, premiums should continue to stay “healthy” and perhaps even increase. Dykstra also discussed more about how the Choice-Select spread is used in pricing of the cattle. First, he noted that today the average load lot is about 70 percent Choice though it may be higher in the North and lower in the South. “Packers are willing to pay for cattle that do better than the 70 percent Choice as a group, whether it’s 40 head or 150 head, the percentage of those cattle grading choice matters to them,” Dykstra told participants. He offered a demonstration on just how much the packer is willing to pay for those Choice carcasses. Given that 70 percent Choice is the industry average that leaves 30 percent of the cattle to possibly do better than the plant average. Thus, if the Choice-Select spread is $10, then that $10 multiplied by the 30 percent comes out to a $3 per hundredweight premium that a packer is willing to pay for every Choice carcass. He next discussed how yield-grade comes into play in the pricing of cattle not- ing fi rst that the industry as
