What is the difference between Yield Grade and Quality Grade?

Yield Grade (1-5) predicts the amount of boneless, separable lean meat, while Quality Grade (Prime, Choice, Select) predicts eating quality based on marbling.

How accurate are the weight predictions?

Predictions are based on breed-specific biological constants and physiological measurements like live weight and breed type.

Can I estimate the market value of my carcass?

Yes, by using the `calculate_market_value` tool, you can estimate the final price including grid adjustments.

More Details Connect to Claude

This MCP server provides precise physiological and economic predictions for beef production. By connecting AI agents to livestock data, it enables the calculation of hot carcass weight and dressing percentage using predict_carcass_metrics. Users can determine USDA classifications by calling determine_yield_grade for meatiness/fatness analysis or estimate_quality_grade to predict Prime, Choice, or Select probabilities. Finally, calculate_market_value provides economic insights by applying grid premiums or discounts based on predicted grades.
